1823. May 24
Constitut. Code

[Omnicompetent.]

Question. Why render the Legislative omnicompetent?

Answer. Reasons.

1. Because the practice upon which it puts an exclusion
is production of in a Constitution such as the present one is pregnant with evil to an unlimited extent, thence
in all imaginable shapes, and, in a Constitution such
as the present, of good in no shape: the evil which the exclusion
of which was the has wherever it has been established has
been the object, having under the here proposed Constitution no place.

2. It stands in contradiction to the greatest happiness
principle. An arrangement suppose is proposed which in the
unanimous opinion of the whole Constitutive, is would immediately be
conducive contributory to the greatest happiness of the greatest number.
It cannot be For a certain length of time it cannot be
carried into effect. Why? because it is would be repugnant
to that which was the will of the Constitutive at the time when named at which this restrictive
arrangement was established.

On one supposition alone, can it be supported, namely
that on the part of the Constituted and Legislative
of the time at which it received its establishment, appropriate
aptitude, moral or intellectual, or both together
had place in a greater degree than at any succeeding
point of time: in particular than at any point of time
at which a proposition would be brought forward, for a some
change which of the numbers of those on which the
restrictive arrangement in question would put a negative.
