Constitut. CodeIII. Reason giving
So far from having any tendency to put an exclusion
upon appropriate aptitude in any of its branches, there it is
among the tests of and thence securities for, the maximum
of appropriate aptitude.
First as to appropriate moral aptitude. Though True it is, that by
in consenting the consent to undergo subject himself this test, his a man does not by this
consent allow give furnish any conclusive evidence of his being in possession
of this requisite: true it is however on the other hand, that
by the non-possession of it he does furnish a sufficiently conclusive
evidence of his not it non-possession of it. Of appropriate aptitude
in this branch so plain and conclusive is this test, that from by
this one title proof were all others wanting it would be sufficiently demonstrated
in this one evidence proof may might be seen were always all others wanting
might be seen a conclusive proof evidence that it is the
particular and personal and interest or supposed interest of the rulers is the
object or end in view to which the accomplishment of which the exercise of such
has at all times and in all places and at all times been directed,
and that to the accomplishment of this object the remaining part portion of
the universal interest – the interest and happiness of the greatest
number has normally been sacrificed.
