Constitutional Code.
Ch. Preface
§
The political states for the are use of which this Code is
principally designed are those in whose instance the existing form of government
is Republican.
So in inconsiderable extent, and in no inconsiderable detail
the features of inaptitude or in a word the abuses of the English
form of government are developed brought to view. Useful and highly instructive
with reference to the main purpose was this as it was exposition, as well as to the what
may be considered as an additional though collateral purpose. For a Republic it may serve the whole of
it together at any time. For England, independent of any such
sudden revolution as under the provocations given will be always
upon the cards, it will may in proportion as it is well adapted to its
purpose, be of use in giving character to the views of all such
persons as may feel disposed to occupy themselves in the effecting
of an melioration by gradual changes which in so far as they
are conducive to the professed and will be so many approaches
towards republicanism. To the establishment of a Republican form of Government
which is the term and non plus ultra on the one hand in
a purely Monarchical form of government is on the other it will
apply acceleration or retardation or acceleration is the maximum of retarding to wit final prevention, according to
circumstance, but in either neither case the effect of it, in so far as it
has any, fact if being productive of good melioration. Prevention or retardation
is thus the result. The good produced will in that case
be pure from evil, but the arrival of the maximum of good will
either not take place at all or not till at the end of a length of
time more or less considerable. Retardation, is that the result?
The number of persons excluded from a participation in the
maximum of good will be the greater: but the good will be
pure – free from admixture with that evil with evil in those shapes
in which an inoperable form all change preceded by hostile
is sudden and transfers of property or power as property.
