1823 June 12
Constitut. Code

1.
[Omnicompetent.]
Opposite to omnicompetent
system is the restrictive:
viz. as to extent in the field
of legislation.

2.
It's modes –
1. Immutability declaring.
2. Specially inhibitive.
As to time, each may be
1. Perpetual: or
2. Temporally oeprating
or say dilatory.

3.
1. Immutability declaring
applies to portions of the
field covered by arrangements
already made,
and declares them unalterable.

4.
2. Inhibitive applies to
portions uncovered –
unoperated upon, and
declares they shall
not be operated upon
in a way thereupon mentioned.

5.
I. Thus
1. Endeavouring to bereave
of the faculty of
applying amendment.
1. Future occupants of
the same by situation.
2. Also themselves.
2. Thereby of the benefit
of such arrangements
1. their fellow citizens of
the time in question –
fellow possessors of the
Constitutive power – fellow
sharers in the Sovereignty.

6.
2. As to the differential
character of each.
1. What is done in the
immutability declaring
made, is done with a
clearer view of the subject:
the tenor of the
arrangement in question
being determinate.

7.
What is done by the inhibitive
mode, is done
more in the dark:
the arrangements in
question being indeterminate.
For the mischievousness
and incongruity
of every such endeavour,
see Rationale, §.

☞. Note an exception in
favor of arrangements
and ordinances made
in favour of Contracts:
viz. between the Governmt.
and individuals: foreign
Governments or
individuals or native
individuals.
