1824. Oct. 5
Constitutional CodeCh. VI. Legislature
§. Legislative Enquiry Judicatory

Rationale

In the English Legislature no such course however has
ever been, or naturally and conceivably could have been in use.
In the early ages of its proceedings in relation to such measure, neither power
nor inclination was or could have been in existence.
In early times the deputies of the people were little like those slaves
were to the Monarch as slaves, scarcely entering to address him
but in this house. In later times neither House would endure
such delegation of authority power on the part of the other House
Committee here brought together mostly each of them by some
particular interest of his own would feel little inclination
to committ the one of those interests to other hands.

As to the American United States nothing but short
of urgent necessity grounded on the difference of the two forms of government
has ever induced them to depart from or so much as
propose a departure from the practice of that government under
which their ancestors were born and bred. ☞ Go on as to the causes.

In English practice Leg English legislative practice evidence in the form of written
returns are to questions or other orders are received habitually collected
from every part of the two Islands and might be collected from
every part of the vast and scattered dominions of the State. In this case the
collection is made without the benefit of counter interrogation
and questions arising out of the answers: both which truth-extracting instruments
for the extraction of truth are in this Code here are constantly employed in the
ordinary system of judicature. True it is that those the persons
from whom these returns are thus usually extracted are official persons:
and the returns themselves copies or digests of the contents
of Register Books kept in those the several Offices in which case the
demand need for adverse examination will not commonly have place.
