1823. March 30
Constitut. Code

§. 2. Superordination Subordination as between authority and
authority – individual and individual functionary.

Art. 7. Of every functionary who has power, the power
is with reference to this or that other that of others, either subordinate
or superordinate, or in both cases.

That Art. 8. So in the case
of every aggregate body of functionaries.

Art. 9. A body of functionaries
taken together constitute compose a department. When the words
Constitutive, Operative, Legislative, Executive, Administrative and Judiciary
are respectively employed, suppose in each instance the word Department added.

Art. 10. The supreme power of all is that which is superordinate
to every other, subordinate to no none other.

Art. 11. The word supreme Supremacy may be as between department and department have reference place as
between department and department or as between individual
and individual or class and class in the same department.

Art. 12. As between department and department, the Constitutive
is supreme with reference to every other.
the supr
But in each department and sub-department there
is exists a power which with reference to all the rest may be is
stiled supreme. In this sense only alone are to be understood
the phrases Supreme Operative, Supreme Legislative,
Supreme Administrative, Supreme Judiciary. In the Constitutive
department there being no gradation of power, any
such epithet as supreme would be in this case superfluous and useless.

Art. 13. In the Constitutive department, the whole people
whether by themselves or their Representatives as superior to each
part, the majority to the minority. In this sense alone
are superordination and subordination attributable predicable of to the
Constitutive.

Art. 14. For Arrangements regarded as belonging
for the most part to the legislative department are located under in
one set of hands, those regarded as belonging for the most part
to the Executive department under in other hands. Thus between the
functionaries belonging to the one department and the functionaries belonging
to the other there is a clear line of distinction. But Not so between the two departments
themselves.
True it is that arrangements where
the Executive be upon in abundance may be assigned itself
any of which were the Executive
to an to take upon itself to make,
it would be clearly an invasion upon
the department and authority
of the Legislative. But no
arrangements can be assigned, the of which by the Legislative would be an invasion upon the department at authority of the legislative Executive
