1824 Oct. 9
Constitutional Code

Rationale

Question. Why thus place the Sovereignty at the hands of the people
at large, and not in the hands of one single person a Monarch.

Answer. Reasons

1. Because for the maximization of the happiness of all
thus appropriate aptitude stands by them
grounded deduced on general experience, and demonstrated by particular
experience to wit in the Anglo-American Union containing as
it does already men in thirty three County different but united
States.

On the part Of the people the appropriate moral aptitude can not fail
to have place it being secured by the universal self preference without
which the species could not have existence.

Appropriate aptitude in the other parts it may possess
by its Agents, and that it does so is demonstrated as above.

2. Because on the part of a Monarch appropriate aptitude
necessary to the maximization of universal happiness is in
all points essentially universally and absent and from the
very nature of men must so long as men endure or man continues
so to be.
