1822. July 1st Constiut Code Rationale
Supreme Operative
2. 1.Monarch
1. Moral inaptitude

10.

While to one another
Monarchs are objects of
sympathy, to all Monarchs
all subjects are objects of
antipathy: of a mixture
of hatred and contempt.
Among all Monarchs
alliance defensive and
offensive against all
subjects.

11.

Implaceable this antipathy.
By the injured, the
injurer may be pardoned:
much less easily
so by the injurer the
injured: the fear and
anger of the injurer
will represent the ill
will of the injured greater
than it is.

12.

True, Monarchs
with each other: in a
Monarch who is an
enemy to them, the subject,
it may be thought,
should have a friend.
But as between Monarch
and Monarch it is rivalry,
not enmity: as
between pugilist and pugilist,
many a Monarch
has given up power
freely to a Monarch:
none to his non-subjects
Monarch and Monarch
are Backgammon players:
neither are insensible
to the others sufferings:
both as insensible
to subjects do. as
Backgammon men
are.

In private as well as
public life, the bottom
is Monarch's place in
the seale of moral
worth.

Cause 1. Self regarding
prudence. The greater
a man's need of the
free good will of others,
the stronger his inducement
to obtain it by manifestation
of good will
towards them: the less
the weaker. Of all men,
Monarch has least need
of such good will. Good
offices for which others
are dependent on free
good will, he commands
partly by punitive force,
partly by remuneration.

14.

So, the more extensively
exposed to ill will
and ill offices at te
hands of others, the stronger
his inducement to
preserve himself from
it and its affects: the less
extensive the less strong.
Against the effect of ill
will on the part of others,
King is particularly secure
partly by his primitive
power, partly by
his remuneration by
which, without will, he
can obtain good office

15.

Thus is his place, not
as per vulgar statement
at the top, but
at the bottom of the
seale of moral worth.
Causes of the vulgar
error, corruption and
delusion. See further.

16.

Thus consummate is
Monarch's inaptitude in
the branch opposed to
Moral aptitude. By the
contemplation of the utmost
sufferings of his
subjects through his misrule
can any desire of
seeing them less intense
exclusion.

Adequate cause of this
apathy, want of appropriate
conception.

To sympathy of affection,
sympathy of conception
is indispensable.
