or 3.
As effectual as if to the
Members themselves
might the bribes be if
given to their connections.
True to acts taken
singly punishment could
not in this case be employed
to advantage.
but during the year,
suppose evil to a certain
amount produced,
and offices to a certain
amount conferred
or promised, a scrutiny
might be made, and by
means of it evidence
obtained sufficient for
grounding extensive punishment.

they: and being corrupted,

breach of his trust, his
being dislocated notwithstanding.

pay – £5,000.
2 years of continuance in
office, 4.
3. Total value of pay for
the 4 years £20,000.

them, Supreme Executive
would not willingly dislocate
them. But, if demand
came, in wd. come
from Constituents petitions
in the multitude of which
he might behold materials
for a revolution destructive
of his power.

or 12.
2. In this mutual subjection,
is there nothing inconsistent,
incongruous, impossible?
A. No. Both arrangements
are arrangements for eventual
appeal to Constituents
from thier Agents. By them
by the hands of their Delegates
wd. the supposed
misdoers be in the respective
cases punished.
No repugnance in the supposition
of two servants,
each in execution of Master's
will, prepared at
any time to dislocate
and even punish the others.
