Constitut. Code

§ 6. Corruptive influence
Co-Corruptors
Preventive arrangements

162 60 or 19.
Pronounced matchless
and glorious a
Constitution which, to
the greatest conceivable
mass of human
misery, secures irremediableness:
to all malefactors in chief, impunity!
Matchless? no: for
such is every despotism.
Glorious? how?
by covering despotism
with a mask: which,
however, is already in
part, and will be
compleatly, transparent.

163 61 or 20.
Subjects of boast!
Power without controul.
Mischief without
remedy: misery
without limit.

164 62 or 21.
Constitution to be
rallied round!
English institutions
to remain eternal,
be they ever so fertile
in misery, only because
English.

165 63. or 22.
Murders, on the
smallest scale, are
not they too English?

166 64 or 23.
(Per J.B. Quere where?
modes of subordination
therein)
Arrangements, by
which, to a power, otherwise
dispute despotic restraint
may be applied
1. Functionary's removability.
2. his exposure to punishment.

§ 6. Corruptive influence
Preventive arrangements.

167 65 or 24.
Removability is the
most obviously effectual,
immediately applicable,
easily applicable.
Sole case where punishment
is advantageously
applicable, obstruction
afforded to the
removal.

168. 66. or 25.
Of the three branches
of the supreme operative
power, 1. King neither
punishable nor removable,
2 Lords neither punishable
nor removable. 3. Commons not
punishable: nor removable
but in numbers
too small, and at intervals
too long, for the removal
to produce any
remedy.

169 67 or 26.
Except with the above
exceptions, not removable
by those whose interests
they profess to guard,
they are removable all
together, by the King against
whom these interests
are professed to be
guarded, at all times:
also individually, by
individual Lords, their
respective nominees, almost
a majority.
Instruments of removal,
a sinister application
of the force of
the popular or moral
sanction.
