Constitut. Code.II Expositive – III. Rationale
Ch. 5. Constitutive
§. (Universal dislocation – why)

In a case of this sort, the corruption has its root in
the form of government. But t say that it lies in the form of the form of government is an abstract and
gover the fictitious entity: and it follows not that because in
this way referable to a fictitious entity no real entity
no person has any share in the production of the effect. The
case truth is – that that though in this case there is but one corruptor
principal and he a self-corrruptor, yet to this one principal
there are accomplices in abundance. In the first place
there are there is the Minister whose signature was attached to
the orders in obedience to which the several captures were made:
in the next place there are the several Cabinet Ministers who were
privy to the resolution taken that such orders should be issued.
In the next place there is the whole body of the Legislature in
all its three branches which seeing its own functions thus usurped
by a single Judge or a series of Judges in the same judicatory,
consents at the usurpation – sharing or not sharing some of them
in the profits of this host swarm of piracies.

Such Such are the purposes In this and all its other the shapes
it is for the sake of the fruits of depredation added to the pleasure of
oppression that the government by acts continually exercised
in this view has been matured and brought into the state in which
it is at present seen and felt to be. It is by wars engaged in for
such these and other congenial purposes that the 800 millions of debt with which the
people continue burthened have been contracted. While,
during so many generations the heaping bit additions continually made
to the good things disposed of by the ruling one, received and shared among them
by the few co-ruling and subruling few has been the result of those wars
and seen by everybody to be so, to say that this was not among the objects
of those wars among the objects to which the attainment of which the course
of the government was directed would be as if when upon a footpad-man highwayman,
stopping a carriage pulling out a pistol and saying Give me
all your money, his object and thereupon receiving whatever
was given to him, it was insisted that it was not his object in so
acting was not the obtai obtainment of the money but some other: for example of a Clergyman the saving of souls.
