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

4. Security against internal resistible adversaries, commonly
called criminals and malefactors, evildoers: namely
in respect of person, property, reputation, property and condition in life.

Under this head what the peoples interest requires is –
that for all the security should against all be entire. But to
this universality the interest of the Monarch makes exceptions.
What his interest requires is – that it should be entire for himself,
for all his special instruments, for all his favorites. But what his
interest requires is that as against himself, his special instruments
his favorites no such security in respect of any real
external instruments of felicity should have place; or that if some can
not but have place it should be as small as possible.
☞ Note here or further on 1. Courtiers. 2. Great Landholders. 3. Lawyer Soldiers.
4. Lawyers. 5. Priests.

5. Security against internal irresistible adversaries natural enemies, namely
rulers. Under this head the account is altogether simple soon drawn up. In regard
to this branch of security it is what the people's interest requires
is – that it be entire. What the Monarch's interest requires is –
that no such branch of security should have place: nor yet if
possible so much as the idea of it in their mens minds.
