Constitutional Code
True it is that as in the case of the supposed individual
not chosen by the great governed nor by any portion of the governed
so by every individual chosen by them would his own happiness
in the same way be endeavoured to be encreased whatsoever
should become of their happiness. But as in the case supposed
each such member of the ruling few is not not only was placed
but at a short interval is displaceable by the subject many
what he sees from first to last is that any considerable and lasting
sacrifice of their happiness to his own is impracticable: and that
for any attempt to effect it, he would at the any rate after has
departure out of that situation be liable for such his misconduct
to be punished by persons appointed by them for that purpose, in
the same way that during his continuance in power others were
liable to be punished at his hands. He will not therefore in
any such way throw away expend any of his labour in waste: he will not
encounter any such waste.
