Constitut. Code
Fiction.
Consideranda in relation to it
1. Evils produced by it, considered in a general point of view
2. By whom employed.
3. To whose advantage benefit employed.
4. For whose benefit employed.
5. At whose expence employed.
6. Occasions on which it has been employed: i.e.
Parts of the field of Legislation to which application
has been made of it.
§. 1. Evils produced by it
1. In general all the evils of Misrule. Falshood is essentially
one instrument of evil: an instrument adapted generally
to the purposes of all evil-doers as such. When he by
whom it is employed is a functionary, especially a Judicial
functionary of the highest order, the it is a case evil receives an aggravation:
and so does the turpitude of the evil-doer.
2. Debasement of the moral part of the mental frame of all
those by whom application is made of it
3. Debasement of the intellectual part of the mental frame
of all those upon whom the imposition passes, and by
whom the lie altered in place of a reason is accepted as
constituting a reason, and that a sufficient one.
4. The several particular evils operated by means of it.
These will be determined by the several parts of the
field to which application has been made of it
5. In general it may be stated as an instrument of
arbitrary power: invented by functionaries invested with limited
power for the purpose of breaking through the limits by which
was intended to be circumscribed.
