Whatever wisdom skill or good temper has place on the part of
the partners is employed in keeping up a good understanding between
the partners an entry made of the expected conceptions in the of birth for the benefit of the partnership.

In this case for its apparent, or at any rate for its
pretended object this same division of power lies the interest
and happiness of the people. The interest in what way served?
Oh it is by preventing the mischief which might occurr to them
from the accumulation of too great a quantity of power
in the same hands. But in what case is the accumulation
of power even though it were of the whole possible mass of
it in the same hands matter an efficient cause of defence to the interest
of the people. Would it be so if in their hands? on the
contrary this is the utmost most effectual means that could be thought of for this
service. No: only in the case in which the hands in
which it is accumulated or hands intended by an interest
opposite to theirs, and such as has been is as the case
the hands in which it actually is accumulated.

Not but that in contradistinction to the case in which
the whole mass of power were accumulated in one and
the same hand the division thus made is productive of
more or less benefit to the interest of the people.

But how? in what way? to a certainty? or only
in a contingency? and interest contingency?
