<head1823. June
Constitut. Code</head>III. Rationale
Ch 4 Legislative.
Ch 5. Executive
§.
U.S. Senate its inaptitude

18.
In case of error in legislation,
useful is the instruction
afforded by the indication
of the cause: for
thus, if it originated in a
source other than conception
of utility, by the
nature of the case may be
afforded a counter
presumption to encounter
the prejudice in favour
of everything established.

19.
Of this clog on the proceedings
of the Representatives
of the people, the idea was
taken from the Constitution
of the several states in
of which it has place.
See Federalist [].

20.
In these, it was taken by
imitation of England.
At the several times of
their institution, the
founders of those states
were young in the art
of legislation, and the
English was the least bad
form of government they
were acquainted with.

20+
Add notice of the
addition of the Judicial to
the legislative and Executive
functions in this
case: contrary to the
received maxims of
Montesquieu.

21.
Proof of Senate's inefficiency
to useful purposes —
by it, no veto, nor
opposition to the liberticide
laws of 1801.

22.
System of operations
ill understood, uninfluencing
circumstances and
even obstacles are taken
for causes.

23.
Wisdom men had learnt
from Blackstone is the
attribute of the H. of Lords.
Proof the Masquerade
Dresses, and the gravity
produced by foolish pride.

24.
In King they had seen
an irreconcilable enemy:
not so in the Lords.
