1826. Septr. 9
Constitutional Code. Ch. IX §. 17 SupplementCh. III Sovereignty – in whom
§. 1. Pure Monarchy – its inaptitude

☞ Quere whether to insert this? It belongs rather to Ch. Constitution.

As to absolute pure Monarchy this is not for displaying
the character of it in full plenitude, this is not the appropriate
place – sufficient let it be to observe, that though by accident
in as to the particulars in question it may by accident be less bad: yet by
accident it may be thence the corrupt Aristocracy-ridden
Monarchy of which corruption is the characteristic instrument
and distinguishing characteristic, yet by accident,
and that an accident of frequent no unfrequent occurrence, it may be
still worse. Folly next to idiocy or tyranny next to
raving madness may at any time be the character condition
of the one upon whom the condition of every other member
of the community depends:⊞ ⊞ not to speak of Austrians
or Prussians. Witness Naples, Sardinia,
Sweden, Russia, Portugal,
Spain: and so long as this is the
case either upon by the Monarch himself or upon someone
located by such a Monarch, are all official situations
filled: and in that case upon whose footing the probability
of official aptitude and official frugality stands may be
left to be imagined. and thus Thus it is that in every absolute pure
Monarchy the in respect of peace from without, and security within the
government considered in respect of stability condition of the country people has for its semblance those rocks
the sort of which is in such places is to be sometimes seen Pure Monarchy is the rock which, being having been placed
and found by accident, the push of a finger is sufficient to has been
sufficed to in which in a representative democracy, such as that
of the Anglo American United States the tendencies for
bettering combined with the its smallness at the in
the character of a
sufficed to move: broad at bottom pointed at top, a representative
democracy is a pyramid.
