Constitut. Code
In regard to the application exercise of the sanctionative power of the
Supreme Constitutive, considered as exercised within the dislocative
or the punitive or the dislocation of the its supposed offending Agents
which is desirable is: that the actual application of it be as
rare as possible, and at the same time in the breast of those same Agents the expectation of its
eventual application as strong as possible: add, and in the event
of the actual exercise of it the justice justness of the exercise given to it
be as clear as possible. The first thing to be desired is that
on the part of those same Agents no such act of transgression be
be ever committed. To this end what is desirable is – that
in the event of any such transgression, the probability of such
dislocation and punition and disrepute should in the eyes of the legislative several members of it
at all times be as great as possible. To the accomplishment of all those several
desirable outcomes are the several subsidiary arrangements here provided directed
towards the Legislators Inaugural Declaration, and those by
which the members acting of the nature members of the Public Opinion Tribunal
are endeavoured to be maximized, the quantity of appropriate
information with which they are supplied, and the frequency
and intensity of the attention respectively bestowed upon the same
information are all endeavoured to be maximized.
