1823. May 18.

Constitutional Code.
III. Reason-giving part

Ch. 1. Name – Territory – Divisions – Authorities.
§. 1. Name – Territory – Divisions – Authorities.

(l.) [Districts &c] Question. This plan of nomenclature –
for what purpose has it been chosen?

Answer. To afford indication, of the mutual relations,
between the portions of territory which the several denominations
are employed to designate: by no other plan of nomenclature
can this indication be afforded. With respect
to the several relations, the several denominations are
characteristically significative. In the nomenclature of
no state is any set of denominations possessing this quality
as yet to be found. As between measure and measure,
in all other instances, the convenience, resulting
from significancy and uniformity of denomination is,
universally recognised. Yet, in those instances, the establishment
is necessarily attended with no small difficulty:
scarce any would attend it in the present instance.

As to the word District, by it, is customarily designated,
a division of any magnitude: it is employed
without reference made to any determinate magnitude, absolute or relative.
This then may, without inconvenience, be taken
for the integer of the several subsequent divisions and
fractions.

For the mode, in which the number of the steps is
designated, the French language affords a precedent.
Ayeul being the name for Grandfather, Bsayeul
is Great Grandfather, Trisayeul Great Great Grandfather.
