1823. May 22
Constitut. Code.

With the exceptions there just mentioned thus far all the interests of all thence the wishes and endeavours of all coincide: and by his regard for
his own security each person is prompted individual is urged to contribute his utmost to the interests
to the security of all the rest: each one by his regard for his own felicity
is prompted urged to contribute his utmost to the happiness of all the
rest.

But when that branch of security comes upon the carpet, what
that branch of security which consists in security against evil from
the hands of in the official branch of the suite of internal enemies
then comes the separation – the conflict of interests. Of each every member
of the community who neither himself is a sharer in the
particular and sinister interest appertaining exclusively of the ruling branch governing division of the
army host of internal enemies it is the interest that by all men functionaries
himself all individuals in the same situation in
this respect with himself security should in to the fullest extent be
possessed against the hostility of this strongest division as well as against the
hostility of the weaker division of the host of the communitys internal enemies.
But of him who be whose stake is in this same stronger
division of that same host it is not the interest that this
branch of security should in that same quarter have place: it is no more his
interest that it should have place, than it is the interest of
an army be it what it may, that the army armies of the enemy
should in every quarter possess security against whatsoever attacks
it proposes to itself to make.

But, whatsoever may be the number of the communitys internal enemies
who are linked together by a community of sinister interest, by a
the common stock of the matter of abundance converted by their power
into a mass of the matter of depredation collected and stationed lodged in
their hands and at their disposal, the number of those at any given point of time who are
actual sharers in this body is always in a considerable degree
less inferior to that of the rest of the numbers of that same community
it in notwithstanding whatsoever exceptions may thus have place, it
is thereupon not the less true that of every individual belonging to on the part of the greater number of
the members of the every political community be it what it may, it is
the interest that all against the hostility of those as well as the several
other divisions of the host of public enemies, all others as well as he himself should in as high a degree as possible stand secure secured.
