Constitut. Code
Of that body of functionaries the body composed of those
functionaries the election of which by the people at large
Of that body of functionaries in which to which
belongs the portion of power coordinate with that of the
Monarch, the use to with reference to the universal interests of the
community at large is the faculty whatever it be which
it has of opposing and frustrating the will and desire
of the Monarch in so far as if gratified of the gratification given afforded to it,
the sacrifice of the universal interest would be a consequence:
and to this intent it is that the members of this body are
or are supposed to be located in placed in it and displaceable out of their respective situations
and by the will each of them of a majority of a
certain portion of the whole number of the members of
the community in question: namely under the notion
that the will expressed by them those representatives respectively will on each occasion
be that which had the case been before them would
have been the free and unperverted will of that majority by whom they have
respectively been elected. But Now in regard to the several classes
of the external instruments of felicity, the will interest (setting aside
the influence of corruption and delusion) of such majority would
on every each occasion be in a state of manifest opposition to
that of the Monarch: their will consequently accordingly to his will.
The interest and the will of the Monarch is on each case
occasion that the quantity of the external instruments of felicity
in his hands and applicable convertible to his own be a maximum:
theirs that it be a minimum: no part of it being ever obtainable
by him but at their expence. Of their respective
Representatives the duty the uncontested duty – being
to support the interest of their respective Constituents against
all conflicting interests it is thereby their duty to on every occasion
in which it becomes is a question whether any portion of
the aggregate mass of
those same instruments
any portion beyond the
abovementioned
necessary and sufficient
minimum shall remain
in the hands of the possessors or pass out of them into the hands of the King to Monarch to opposite and do what depends on them respectively towards the foundations rendering his will of non-effect.
