Constitut. Code

But in every community the end preferably exclusively
or at least preferably pursued by the ruler or rulers will be the
greatest happiness that is to say what to them appears such they expect to find,
of such ruler or rulers: and to their particular interest
with the in so far as any competition has place will
the common intent, be to the pursuit of their particular
will the pursuit of the all-comprehensive end, be sacrificed.
The sacrifice thus made of the pursuit of the
right and proper end to the has adverse particular
and their sinister end let it be called call it the sinister
sacrifice.

B The great Now So as to the particular end specific ends above mentioned In regard to subsistence, abundance
security, and equality which the universal interest the
greatest happiness of the greatest number requires is – that
of those external instruments of felicity the aggregate mass
in the community in question be maximized: and that
in particular the shares which are the result the distribution of the three first be as near
to equality as may be consistently with security in all
other shapes they can be: and that against rulers in
particular in quality of persons exposed to the
temptation of be acting as internal enemies to will the
rest, enemies and this so long as they continue rulers
irresistible one, they the security possessed against such their enterprizes
should at all times be a maximum. On the other
hand what that which their particular and above
interest requires is – that of the aggregate of abundance,
their own particular share be at all times a maximum
that therefore at in place of general equality a degree of
inequality as great as possible so as it be in their favour, have
place at all times: and this, whatsoever may become of abundance
and even of subsistence
in the case of others: and
that as to security against
mischief wrought by them
that is to say depredation
and oppression in all
other shapes at the expence
of others, no security at all should ever have place.
