Election.
4. Annuality

4. Annuality

by annuality of suffrage, understand adequate frequency
of recurrence on the part of the election process:
and thereby of the conjunct exercise of the right of removal,
and the function of appointment with relation to the situation
in question: but instead of adequate frequency of recurrence, say annuality
of recurrence: instead of an indefinite expression, a
definite expression, employed for the sake of clearness of conception,
accuracy of expression to a certain degree sacrificed.

No one will undertake to say prove, at any rate, no one
will be able to prove, that, by the addition of this or that short
term — say a day, ro the term of a year, any sensible evil in this or that determinate shape could
be produced: and so in the case of this or that other small number
of days, to an indefinite amount.

No one will undertake to say prove or at least no one
will be able to prove, that, by the subtraction of this or that
short term, say a day, from the term of a year, sensible inconvenience
evil, in this or that determinable shape, would be produced:
and so in regard to this or that other small number
of days to an indefinite amount.

No one will undertake to say prove, or at least no one
will be able to prove, that there can not be any state of things in
which it would not be for the advantage of the whole body of constituents
that, at the end of some shorter length of time than a year reckoning
from the day of election, the conjunct powers of removal and appointment
should not, by the act of some person or persons chosen for the
purpose, be called forth into exercise.
