1823. June 5
Constitut. Code

To constitute any such
constitution is to institute a system of corruption
whether they have it or not.

Question. Why thus give to the Constitution the universal power of dislocation
with reference to tha see all functionaries.

Answer Reasons
– to strengthen the security against Corruption.

1. By situation without contract, as effectually as by
contract, corruptive dependence and corrupt obsequiousness
to any amount may be created.

2. Given to a connection of his, money or moneys
worth may be of the same value to a man, as if
given to himself: and therefore have effect to the
same amount, in respect to the creation of corruptive
dependence.

3. dependence. The effect will be exactly the same, if but by
the benefit thus received by the his connection at the public expence
he is relieved from the burthen of conferring a benefit to that same amount at his own expence.

3. Pecuniary amount being the same in both
cases, stronger effective more effectually corruptive dependence may be created
by the fear of losing a beneficial situation already
in possession than by the hope of gaining it: or

3. Be the corru beneficial and corruptive situation what
it may, more effectually corruptive dependence may be created
by the fear of losing it than by the hope of gaining
it.

4. The By the hope of gaining beneficial situations receiving
or benefits in the shape of official situations
through the medium by the hands of his connections corruptive dependence
may be made effected any number of times stronger than by
offici the hope of benefit receivable in the shape of office to by himself.
For to the number of offices possessible at the same time
by himself there are limits: whereas to the number
of offices possessible at the same time by a man's
connections there are no limits.
