Constitut. Code
Of those Councillors of State (by Article 231) two were to be Bishops
Ecclesiastics of any rank: four, grandur of Spain. Do
what they will, they can not says Article 239 be removed
without sufficient reasons proved before the Supreme Court
of Justice: composed as by Article 237 it is of their
own creatures. But if it were composed of Judges chosen
by the people or even by the personal means of the Members
of the been Council of State, what is there that on the
supposition that any regard was paid to justice, could
they have to fear from it. A Waste, Corruption, and
by means of the two through the conjunct instrumentality of their King, the majority of the Council of State, and the majority of the the legisl members of the legislature
rendered to a despotism equal in to the former
one placed in the single hand of the King, or in his hands
in conjunction with a some body of men in appearance located or not in
association by the people, might be established, and most
assuredly if the people sooner or later will be established, and yet
from first to last not to say so much as on by no one
person need so much as a single act be done by which
the imputation of criminality or so much as of any decided
impropriety need be performed.
Maintain Against every temptation in every shape from
by the same Constitution a security is provided, and it is this.
By Article 241 In any advice to the King No view regard are any of those honorable persons to have to private
interest or emolument: that they will not, they promise
be every one of them by an oath: an oath taken
before the King. The authors of this same Constitution, in the
of which been exhausted all his
Scores did they really entertain any such conception as
that the regard to private interest or and will on
the whole or in any the slightest degree be excluded from
the breasts of those creatures of the despot? Their
place should have been seat should have be Of sort of
sort On the lap of his wiser Grandmother should have
been the seat of each of those sages, of whom for it has been were the
determination that
the inhabitants of one
of the four of the
globe should in all
times to come receive
their destiny, and
by whom his in whose eyes according to Articles
and their successors no accumulation mass of experience however lengthened can suffice to qualify can ever render their successors to that and not for themselves.
