Constitut. CodeIII Rationale
Ch. Legislative
§. Locative

( ) [immediate not unimmediate]

Question – Why render the mode of location immediate not immediate?

Answer. Reasons.

1. From unimmediateness in this case will the evils following no benefit can be shown to result.
By no benefits are they outweighed preponderated or equipredicated. Evils are as follows. They encrease with the number of the stages of of
Election interposed between the members of the Supreme Constitutive
and the functionaries located here in question in this
mode of location. Those evils are

1. Want of responsibility as towards their constituents,
of responsibility by punibility; and of responsibility by
dislocability. The Thus functionaries once located,
no contract whats over them in their constituents presence:
no means of preventing them from becoming corrupt and
occupied upon the sinister sacrifice – in the commission of
depredation and oppression.

2. The intermediate locators – being immediate locators of
the empowered functionaries – being of course less numerous than the members
of the correspondent electoral body are stand proportionably exposed
to the influence of the power of corruptors mass of corruptive matter in the hands of the
Executive: as likewise to the influence of corruptive matter in
what hands so ever lodged.

In Spain the The gre smaller the number of persons
exposed to corruption quality of the persons out of the question being set aside the greater
the corruptive force with which they are acted upon by a given
quantity of the matter of corruptive influence.

The greater the number of intermediate ranks of general Electors locators
the smaller the number of Electors in each rank
and thence the greater the corruptive force with which they are
acted upon by the matter of corruptive influence in the hands of the
Executive.

In Spain the number of immediate Electors of the
and sitting functionaries in is not little more than twice as great as the
number of the functionary
whom they locate. See Barnes
paper at 350 to 160
