1823. July 2
Constitut. Code.III Rationale
Ch. 5. Constitutive
§. 1. [Constitutive in the people, why]

☞ Sensible, better not attempt this comparative and exhaustive view
in the appropriate language, but proceed on the former plan.

With respect to the aggregate of comparative appropriate aptitude
as between the Monarch and the people, the only reasonable rational doubt
that can have place as to its being on the side of the people will have one or
other of two grounds, namely

1. In respect of appropriate intellectual aptitude, such
being the deficiency on the part of the people, any such the abundance
on the part of the Monarch, the deficiency
on the one part will even with reference to the effect produced
on the happiness of the people be made up to the people by
the abundance on the part of the Monarch. But for such
supposition no just grounds will be found perceptible.

2. Admitting that on the part of the Monarch
the inaptitude correspondent and opposite to appropriate
moral aptitude is at its maximum, in so much
that in to the pursuit of his own happiness no quantity
of happiness unhappiness thereby produced on their part would be
one obstacle still such so close is the natural connection between
the two that happi of such his pursuit happiness rather
than unhappiness will be the result. But neither for
this supposition will any just grounds be found tenable.
