1823. May 27
Constitut. Code

In the eyes of the founders of this same Constitution,
Such was the facility which this state of things if carried throughout
the whole field of the Executive Department would have
afforded to the members of the Legislative body for selling
themselves to the Monarch, and securing to themselves a share
in the fruits of depredation and oppression when exercised
on the largest scale national scale. With this facility⊞ ⊞ power they were not contented however they were their self declared
not and so generally supposed faithful agents and servants and benefactors
of that nation in whom they by Art. 3 they declare
that the sovereignty and establisher of a government of which
in Article 13 that it has no other object than the universal good
of all the individuals of whom that nation is composed: An
ulterior and much greater facility they were determined to
have, and gave themselves accordingly. An instrument was
accordingly invented by them, – an instrument the management
of which was to be used as in the joint hands of themselves
and the King, This instrument was under the Council of
State and such is the Constitution given to it that by the
use made of it the whole of the legislative body at
all times be gained by the King, and taken into partnership let into
partnership with him in the profits of the trade of government
without the possibility of fixing the authorship of
all this evil upon to whose punishment in any shape or
even at the hands of the Public Opinion Tribunal so much simple
disrepute and desperation can attach itself. Council
of State – such is the high-sounding title with which this
instrument was embellished: and accordingly with the person
of the Monarch its intercourse is rendered necessary and necessarily
frequent. Forty is the number of its Members. On each
vacancy three Candidates are by the legislative body three
individuals are located in the situation of Candidates: out of
those three the King pitches upon any that one in whom he beholds
his fittest instrument, and in the among the forty to in the number at the absolute of whom is by whom
the whole of that vast mass of emolument too disposed of the favored one is definitively located.
