Constitut. Code. Rationale

What in this such case is the measure of the quantity of badness
or say depravity in the human mind? Is it the quantity of
human misery produced? Is it the degree of steadiness
with which the probability of its being produced is contemplated,
and the fixedness of the determination to persevere in
the endeavour to give it existence to it? Is it the absence of that
indigence distress which renders in some cases is universally
by universal general acknowledgement present to render depredation
and even intentional homicide justifiable? With these considerations
criterions in mind compared the best of Monarchy with the
more worst of private and punishable malefactors, see whether
as the on the scale of political power so on the scale of moral depravity, the
place of the ever unpunishable malefactor is not above that of the punishable
malefactor evil-doer.

As it is in regard to in the case of that situation by which the largest
mass of political powers is conferred so is it in every inferior one.
The probable quantity of virtue in a man is not in the direct but
in the inverse ratio of his attitude on the composite scale
composed of power opulence, and factitious dignity.

That which goes is known commonly by the name of robbery
is robbery without established unestablished for want of power. Every Government that
other than a Democracy is robbery by established means of established
power.
