Civil or Distributive branch of Law

Of Law in general, and of this branch in particular the principleal object is
to give security to rights: viz to such as it finds in existence, and such
others as under and in virtue of such arrangements as it finds in existence
and such others as from time to time it sees occasion to
make successively come are successively brought into existence: to wit either by such events
as take place without the operation of human will such as death
and other casualties, and the birth produce of the elements of the three
kingdoms of nature the mineral, the vegetable and the animal
and such as are brought into existence by the operation of the
human will such as ordinances and voluntary contracts and
ordinances of the administrative branch of Government.

In Comparison of the security thus offered for rights in general
such benefits as belong to this or that one of the three remaining
heads under one or other of which all the as yet unmentioned benefits
which it is in the nature of Government to confirm or secure
may be classed, are but of secondary importance; to wit 1. security for
subsistence meaning incidental arrangements for securing national subsistence
against incidental causes of failure — 2, Abundance to wit Continual
encrease to that which is a common matter of subsistence and abundance
3. Equality: meaning the giving to the several masses of the matter of
wealth in the possession of different individuals such approach and
perpetual tendency to absolute equality as shall not be inconsistent
with the security which ought to be afforded to the rights relative to
property and the rights relative to condition in life
