1822 July 15.
Constitut. Code Rationale

48.
2. If at Statute Law,
the subject of the prohibition
has been described:
thence the case
in which punishment
will be applied.

49.
By taxation may be
produced in some
sort the effect of corruption
as well as of
obstruction. By taxation,
works that can
not pay the tax stand
prohibited: those that
can and do permitted.
Hence, the information
is corruptly partial,
to the detriment of
the comparatively
poor: information that
seeks to deceive them
is poured in upon
them: information
that seeks to afford
them useful instruction,
is kept out of
their sight.

50.
Not quite so mischievous
is this mode of
corruption, as the two
others: by a line thus
drawn, mischievous
and useful information
can not be so
compleatly separated
to the purpose of pouring
in the mischievous
and keeping back the
useful.

51.
Only by rulers or with
their aid, can these
means of destroying
the effect of this counterforce
to their power be
employed. In so far as
they employ them, they
make it evident that
to maximize & perpetuate
misrule, thence
human misery in all
shapes, are their endeavours
directed.

52.
Information to one nation
being so to all,
thus to maximize misrule
and misery in
one, is so to do in all the
others.

53.
More extensively hostile
the Ruler who does thus
is to the whole
species, than a Pirate
is: the mischief extends
to all nations and all
times.

54.
Dangerous would it
be to the Indicator to
indicate those enemies
of mankind by their
individual names:
not sy by their official
do.
