Constitut. Code

2. By the authority of the Supreme Legislative itself,
composed of the same Members this case is mentioned brought to or no for no other reason than because
the not only the possibility but the actuality of the limitation
produced by such a seems commonly to be assumed.
But by a little reflection the impossibility of it will be made
apparent. The will of this In the case of this body as in
that of every other body and every individual, its will is as
much its will at one time as at another. To suppose
that its will on the first of two days can render of
not effect its will on the second of those same two days is to
a self contradictory supposition: it supposes that on that said same
its will will be and at the same time will not be to the effect
in question.

3. By the authority of the supreme legislative itself
at a time when the Members of it are in a greater or less
proportion are altogether all of them different. So For simplicity of
conception suppose them all without exception in their whole number different.
By the supposition it is their desire to render of
in others effect the will declared by their predecessors: by
what consideration can should they be prevented from carrying
such the desire into effect? At the anterior here in question
of by the will of the then existing Members constituted was the authority
of the in question constituted composed: at the posterior here in question
it was the will of the then existing members that that same
authority is was composed.
