Constitut. Code
Ch. or §. Parliamentary Reform – its inadequacy
In the opinion of a considerable and gradually encreasing
number of the people the system of government as in in
England is so bad – so adverse to the greatest happiness of the
greatest number, that a change man desirous of contributing
his endeavours to that same greatest happiness can
not but without inconsistency fail of being desirous of seeing
brought about a change: a change of a nature to add to that
greatest happiness by the removal exercising substituting good
to what is evil in the frame of government as it exists at
present.
For this purpose two changes are continually brought to
view: one under the name of Parliamentary Reform, the
other under the name of Revolution. By Parliamentary Reform
is meant a change in the mode form mode in which the people are
said to be represented: By causing the men who under the
name of Representatives of the people exercise the a principal share
of the power of government to be located and dislocable by those the great body
whom they are said to represent by the great body instead of a
comparatively minute portion of it. By Revolution is
meant placing some other individual locating in the situation
of Monarch King of this political State an individual
different from him by whom it is filled at present filled.
As to theanswers, they have already been given in
generals, and in substance and in general. In substance, by no
can it be to seek. But as there is the mind finds a convenience in and a relief at having
before it its own conceptions in a determinate form, the
filling positions, may upon the whole not be without their use.
