The imputation of moral depravity does not necessarily
attach upon any endeavour to subvert the Constitution –
or to destroy oppose the power of any of the constituted authorities individual functionary
or functionaries although it be by force. No such endeavour
can be used with any chance of success, unless there be in the
opinion of a considerable portion of the members of the community
such such success would be acceptable to the whole,
contributory to the greatest happiness of or at any rate acceptable to the greatest number.
or at any rate

The government of the State will if of course defend
itself against those all such as in its eyes are domestic
adversaries, as well as against those who in its eyes
are foreign adversaries.

If, in the course of any such endeavour, injury harm
be done to person or property reputation or condition in life, those who have been concerned
in doing it will in this as in any other case be exposed
to the burthen of compensation together with what
soever further burthen has been provided on the score of
punishment: if no such harm has ensued, there
