1823. March 24
Constitut. Code

22. Evil produced as a collateral and unavoidable
result of the means employed for the production of
more than equivalent good is hardship.

23. The expence of Government is either pecuniary
or non-pecuniary.

24. Of the non-pecuniary expence of Government,
the principal shapes are, forced personal service,
and hardships at large.

25. Whether for the purpose of reward, or for whatever
other purpose, good is not producible by Government
but through the medicine of evil as above.
No Government without coercion: coercion is in
itself an evil

26. Hence, in so far as the good produced remains
undiminished, the universal end requires, that factitious
reward be minimized, as well as factitious
punishment.

27. VI. Official Aptitude. Of official aptitude there
are three branches: 1. Appropriate moral aptitude:
2. Appropriate intellectual Aptitude: 3. Appropriate
active aptitude.

28. Of appropriate intellectual aptitude there are
two branches: 1. Appropriate knowledge: 2. Appropriate
judgment.

29. By appropriate moral aptitude is meant –
disposition to contribute, on all occasions and in all
ways, to the greatest happiness of the greatest number.

30. If appropriate moral aptitude be deficient, the
consequence is that, by abundance of appropriate
aptitude in those other shapes, the aggregate of appropriate
aptitude will naturally be diminished, and
not encreased. If hostile to the interests of the greatest
number, the more able the functionary, the more
mischievous.
