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

5. Security against internal irresistible adversaries natural enemies, namely
rulers. Under this head the account is soon drawn up. In regard
to this branch of security what the people's interest requires
is – that it be entire. What the Monarchs interest requires
is – that no such security should have place: nor not yet if possible
so much as the idea of it: for lest from the idea should come the desire.

1. In regard to person. What it is the peoples interest requires – that the person of every
be secure against injury at the hands of every man. What the
Monarchs interest requires is that against injury at the hands of
all other men, he and his instruments and favorites it be entire be secure.
But that against injury at his hands, and those of his instruments and favorites
no security should have place. And under Monarchy
such accordingly is universal practice: so far as regards injury
at his individual hands, avowedly and directly: so far as against
injury at their hands, unavowedly and indirectly.

⊞ Everywhere where there
a Monarch
At the mercy of the
Monarch is every mans
liberty and every man's
life
