Cloud hanging over the
source of power in
a state. By Constituents,
restriction may
be applied to the power
constituted by them:
to the power of their
operatives. But to
Constituents power, by
whom shall restriction
be applicable?
Of Constituents who
the Constituents?
9. or 3.
In fact, in a Constitutional
Case, the operatives
are Constituents
of the future
Constituents. By these
operatives, the initiative
function exercised: and the consumative
is left to be
exercised actively by future constituents
and operatives,

10. or 4.
Objections to restrictions
on power of operatives:
thence or do. of constituents.
1. Danger of anarchy and
its evils.
In such restriction is
contained a virtual declaration
that if the restriction
be broken, disobedience
of the Citizens
to the operative is
authorised and invited.
Such disobedience some
will manifest, others
not: here there is anarchy
and civil war,
each party to the other
rebels.

2. Inconsistency; the
less apt in morals and
intellectuals attempting

successors be more apt

In such a Constitution,
this is a matter of absolute
necessity.

2. Penning a Declaration

For obviating the danger attached
