1821. April 27.
First Lines Constitutional (2.)

In a Representative Democracy, the exercise of this
designative power is performed by human judgement: under a
Monarchy it is performed by fortune or providence. : The cause
being the same, and that cause out of the reach of our knowledge,
each man may, on each particular occasion, do as
he is accustomed to do, employ that one of the two which,
on that occasion, is regarded by him as best suited to his
purpose. Under the exercise made of this power by fortune, the supreme
operative power finds itself, at the death of the last possessor,
in the hands of the only Child, or, in case of Children more than one living at that moment,
of the first born of the Children of a certain woman: the power
of removal is, under the direction of fortune or providence,
or by accident, human judgement exercised by death.

In so far as the power of appointment is thus exercised
by fortune or providence, no degree of appropr relative inaptitude
short of universally manifest and compleat insanity of
mind has the event effect of preventing the exercise of the operative
power from finding itself lodged in the hands thus designated
and appointed: no degree of inaptitude short of that
produced by insanity, as above, takes the power of removal
out of the hands of death
