Constitutional CodeCh. X. Ministers Severally
§. 3. the Army Minister
II. Radicals.
Art. 11. Number maximizing. Rule. Antagonizing principle.
Contentment maximizing and Expence minimizing. Rule. Give to
the number of the individuals employed in Radical service, so far
the utmost imaginable which as the not necessary due regard to the Contentment maximizing, and
Expence minimizing principles will permitt. For the Reason
1. Maximising the immediate security against aggression on the part of the
Stipendiary force. 2. maximizing the eventual security against foreign
aggression from without. For the restriction applied by the Contentment
maximizing principle see below Art. For those applied by the
Expence minimizing see below Art. In this respect the quality
desirable in the radical contrasts as will be seen with that desirable in the Stipendiary
force – that to apply this principle – in addition to the voluntary service, add
an obligatory service to its number as upon petition from the of service, shall have been necessary for security, as above.
Art. 12. Aptitude-maximizing principle. Explanation.
In this case the appropriate aptitude namely the scientific branch
will when consist in skill acquired by the body trained and examined
in such military manipulation and evolution as can be performed
by the members of the force without migration from their
respective homes. Inferior in shape and degree will
be the aptitude requisite in the case of this branch of the national force as compared with
that requisite in the case of the stipendiary branch force.
Art.
Art. 13. Contentment-maximizing principle – Explanation.
The power of giving affording positive comfort and thence content by legal
arrangements being by the nature of the case confined with very
narrow limits, what can be done under this head will
principal in avoiding the non-production of discontent, namely to produce discontent by the non-infliction imposition
of needless or uncompensated hardship. The hardship liable
to be produced by arrangements relative to the radical force this branch of the public, is chiefly
that which would be produced by the aggregating against their will
to this branch of the national force individuals in greater number
than is necessary for the purpose of security, as above. As to hardship
liable to be produced by the nature of the service in the instance of those
actually engaged in it, it will be very inconsiderable in comparison
of that to which the nature of the case exposes the members of the
Stipendiary force, as to which see .
Names of applications. During engagement almost exclusively of the negative class:
namely application of the Inequality minimizing principle.
