Constitut. Code
Be this as it may, if no intolerable subversive destructive mischief takes
place in this earliest period, no reason is there for supposing
that any such mischief will take place at any later posterior
period: and thence insomuch that if with this limitation
to it the restriction is justifiable, equally justifiable will would
it be, were the limitation omitted not applied.
So much as to the two arrangements taken together: namely needlessness of the restriction:
restriction and the in respect of extent of competence, and
limitation applied in point of time to that restriction – the two arrangements
taken together – or rather the needlessness of the
limitation applied to point of time to the restriction applied to it in point of extent of the authority of the legislative body in question over the field of action.
Now as to the hopeless article of hopelessness.
Whatsoever under the newly instituted Constitution may be the influence and effective power
of the newly constituted rulers, the more effectually
it is regarded as answering its purposes, or to come
more to the point, the better the people subject many are satisfied
with it, the firmer and firmer will be their hold
on the affections, fear and hope love taken together, of those
same subjects. If there Suppose now among that in company with the arrangements
which have manifestly have really had
for thus its object the felicity of all and thence of the new rulers themselves, others
have lace which have for their objects not the felicity
of all but the particular felicity of those same rulers, pursued at
the expence, and by the sacrifice of more or less of the
felicity of those same subjects: what is the consequence?
The longer and longer the time is during which they have
been in possession of the sinister advantage, the more and
more confirmed the habit of enjoyment is – the stronger the
hold as it were, they have taken of it, the more intense serious
will they be to part with it: and, but by means of the circumstances
just mentioned, during all this time and in correspondent proportion their
assurance of being
at suffered to
keep possession of it,
has been receiving
encrease.
