1823. July 4
Constitut. Code.III Rationale
Ch. 5. Constitutive
§. 1. [Constitutive in the people, why]

Whatsoever be the difficulties which stand in the way of a good
choice in the case situation of Elector in a democracy the inconsiderable
will they be in comparison of of those that stand in the way of a
good choice in the case of a Monarch. For prejudging pre-estimating the
qualities absolute and comparative of a each candidate the Monarch
will have no other guide than the whispers of a minute number
of dependents all of them interested in the deceiving of him,
all of them constantly occupied in the endeavour so to do: all of
them who want in intention deceivers, all of them even in professions
flatterers.

For this same purpose the exercise of the same function How different and how much more advantageous is the
situation of an Elector in a democracy! Into no company can
he enter without seeing there who in relation to the subject are ready eager
to communicate to him whatever they know have seen or heard
or think: the annals of the year the diaries of the day, the
pictures of all public functionaries and of all who aspire to
be so, visit his enter on his table in company with his daily bread.

For nothing of all this has the Monarch any time. His
time is engrossed by the gratification of sensual appetites, and by
the receipt of homage and flattery in all its forms.
