1822 May 23d.
Economy &c.

Chambers, two or more.

28.
Case 3. Members of 2d
Chamber located by a
Chief functionary as
above: on death, successor
to each located by
genealogical proximity:
with or without power
of location in some
hands as to an indefinite
ulterior number.

29.
Sinister sacrifice here
of the same sort, but
with additional burthensomeness:
a particular
class and race,
possessing a particular
and sinister interest
unchangeably hostile
to universal do.: to
this class, people at
large objects of perpetual
hatred and contempt:
hatred for resistance
made or apprehended
to the course
of injury by depredation
and oppression in
all shapes: contempt
for incapacity of resistance,
and the magnitude
of the comparative
deficiencies
thus perpetuated and
ever encreased.
(See Members unapt &c.

30.
Bred up in these same
hostile feelings are all
succeeding generations
of the same race: To
the strength given to
them by sinister interest
is thence added that
given by interest begotten
& authority begotten prejudice.
For the additional
strength given by religion
see below.

31.
In no instance at the
formation of the U.S. Constitution
of the U.S.
Constitution had the existence
of a second chamber
for its cause the
fear of evil from precipitation,
and desire
of excluding it.

32.
I. thus in England
1. First established
chamber Lord's House.
Cause of its establishmt,
King's inability to maintain
absolute power
by his own immediate
dependents against their
or without their assistance.
thus from the
Conquest to Henry 3d.

33.
2. Temp. Henry 3d.
Montfort one of a set
of Lords at war with King
sought money & support
in other shapes from the
people at large. By consent,
money could be obtained
more and sooner
than by force.
By King himself was
the like expedient pursued.
First founder of
Commons House, Montfort.
Second Founder King.
this chamber,
by being chiefly
looked to for money, became
first in importance:
in laws for extortion of
money, the exclusive
has in effect
been obtained by
this House.

34.
No part in either case
had any fear of evil
from precipitation in the
formation of either House.
By form force, by
the power of the strong
over the weak, of the
few leaders over the
many followers have all
laws and institutions been
made till of late times.
Laws &c. established, then
by hope of reward are
produced pretended profit
of their reasonableness.

35.
Against the argument
afforded by authority-begotten
prejudice follows
the instances in which
counter-argument has
been afforded by opposite
practice.
1. Spanish Government,
a mixt monarchy.
2. Portuguese do. a do.
3. Chilé do. a Republic.
4. Buenos Ayres do. a do.
5. Columbia do. a do.
6. Haiti do. a do.

36.
In these several instances,
by evil of precipitation,
or any other, has
any evidence or argument
in support of the
utility of a second chamber
to the universal interest
been afforded?
