1823. July 1
Constitut. CodeIII Rationale
Ch. 5. Constitutive
§. 1. [Constitutive in the people – why]

Certain classes excepted(a), (a) namely 1. persons of unsound mind. 2. Non-adults at an
age so early as not to admitt of their being justly considered
as being as yet possessed of a sound mind with reference to the purpose
in question, a position which every person
will be ready ready to accede to upon the very first mention
of it, and will at all times continue to assent to without
hesitation is – that every person possesses appropriate aptitude
with reference to the choice of his own Agent or Agents
or say his own Trustee or Trustees for the management of all such affairs as it suits his
situation and desperation to consign over and to the management
of any other person or persons. It therefore being
and underneath that for the management of such
of the his affairs that are peculiar to himself as he is precluded from
managing with his own hands in his own person every man is how apt
it will therefore rest with gainsayers, to show what if any the circumstances are by which why it is a
person stands precluded from the taking his part in the choice
of persons to be employed in the management of those affairs
which are his as well as those of all the other members
of the community in question whatever it be: namely a political
state, or any particular community included in
such political state, and acting in subordination to the rulers of
that same political State.

In this case, be it as it may in regard to absolute
aptitude, there will be among all men but one voice in regard to comparative
aptitude: and it is comparative aptitude that is here
in question. To practice Produce such as the following. No man
is there who with any disposition to adhere embrace. Every mans
affairs will be better managed by Agents not of the those need not not chosen or removable by himself,
of Agents chosen and removable by himself: ie Generally
speaking a mans affairs will not be so well managed by Agents
chosen and removable by himself, as by Agents chosen by other persons who are strangers to him,
and those Agents not removable by himself.
