1824. Jany 20.
Constitutional Code

Another instance in which the matter of
the Civil Code belongs in spirit to the Constitutional
Code, is that of the sort of Institution called
a foundation. Foundation is Legislation. Under the
name of a Legislator, a man exercises the functions
of government in an open and declared manner.
Under the name of a Founder, a man – if permitted
by the Legislator, any man, may exercise
those same powers, in a manner not less effectual,
though neither declared nor open, nor by many
an eye observed.

The Legislator recognized as such, has equally
at his command two instruments, punishment
and reward, each of which, or both,
as in his eyes occasion requires, he employs in
the performance of his work. Of these two instruments,
openly and immediately, the founder employs
but one, viz. reward: but unimmediately and
to many an eye secretly, he employs the other
likewise. For in truth, such is the connection
between those two instruments that he who
has either at his command, has at his command
the other likewise: each of them is in effect
contained within the other. Substraction of
reward is punishment. Substraction of punishment
is reward.
