Ch. 5. Constitutive
☞ Short sentence form

Question 1. The Supreme Constitutive authority is in this State that by which
immediately or unimmediately all other constituted authorities therein constituted are located, and
eventually dislocated. Why locate, in the hands of the people as above
designated namely in Chapter 3, the constitutive power authority to all other as thus here designated.

Reasons.
Answer 1. Because by no other means in no other shape can a pure representative
democracy be instituted: and a pure representative
democracy is, the only form of government compatible with a form of government conducive to the
object of this constitution, namely the greatest happiness of the
greatest number.

2. No Because, no other form of government is absolutely or comparatively conducive to the greatest
happiness of the greatest number.

3. An hereditary absolute Monarchy is not conducive contributory to
compatible with the absolutely or comparatively compatible conducive
with the greatest happiness of the greatest number.

4. An Elective Monarchy is not absolutely or comparatively
conducive to the greatest happiness of the greatest
number.

5. An hereditary Aristocracy is not absolutely or comparatively
conducive to the greatest happiness of the greatest
number.

6. An Elective Aristocracy is not absolutely or comparatively
conducive to the greatest happiness of the greatest
number.

7. A composite Constitution form of government composed of in which the power
is in any proportion shared between a Monarchy
in either form and an Aristocracy in either form is not
absolutely or comparatively conducive to the greatest happiness
of the greatest number.

8. A composite constitutive form of government in which the
power is shared between a Monarchy in either form, an
Aristocracy in either form and a Representative of the people
is not absolutely or comparatively conducive to the greatest happiness
of the greatest number, even if the representative body be as
adequately representative
as possible: and
it is further and further
from being so conducive
the more further and more further the
representation is from
being adequate.
