1.

Of the secret and open
mode, which is preferable,
depends on voter's situation

1. Mode secret, the voters
vote is exempt from
all external influence,
tutelary, aswell as
seductive.

This situation is favorable
to the universal
interest, so far
as the voter's personal
interest is in alliance
with it, or not hostile
to it.

2.

2. Made open, the voter's
vote is exposed to
external influence
from all quarters, tutelary,
aswell as seductive viz.
1. To the intimidative
and corruptive influence
of rich and powerful
individuals.
2. To the tutelary influence
of the Public opinion
Tribunal.

3.

Cases, in which the
secret mode is preferable, are
1. Where voter's personal
interest forms part of
the universal interest;
as in election of Legislators
2. Where, it is not out-
weighed by greater
damage to interest of
other individuals.

11. Cases in which the
open is preferable
1. Where the voter's personal
interest is adverse
to the universal interest.
2. Where it is adverse to a
greater interest on the
part of a greater number
of individuals.

5.

Conclusion as to different
situations
1. In situation of Electors
of the members of the Legislature,
the secret mode
is preferable.

6.

Reason. The majority
wd. be exposed to the danger
of being forced to the
or allured to give their
votes to unapt candidates
deemed by the voters themselves
unapt: and thus
sacrifice to that sinister
interest the universal
interest in which their
own is included.
Hence in the Election
Code, the secret mode
alone is employed.

7.

2. In the situation of
members of the Legislature
In this situation, every
voter will be under
the influence of two
conflicting powers.

Ch.IX.Ministers subordinate
S.14.Locable who.

8.

1. The intimidative
and corruptive and
thus seductive power
of the Prime Minister
and Ministers in their
character of locators as
to desirable official
situation, conferable
on or withholden
from those with whom
the voters all connected
by selfregarding or
sympathetic interest

9.

2. The tutelary power
of the members of the
community at large,
in their character of
do. of the Public Opin
Tribunal, & do. of the
Constitutive authority
with it's dislocative
powers.

10.

Hence, one reason for
minimizing the seductive
power of those
functionaries — Measures for this, are
1. Minimizing the value
thence the seductive power,
of those situations
2. Narrowing the choice
of those locators, as much
as possible; viz. by exposing
them to the punitive
power of the members
of the Public Opinion
Tribunal and of the
Constitutive authority,
in the event of their
locating persons other
than those pointed out
as most apt by the suffrages
of the official
talent Judicatory.

10. Contind.

3. Rendering the members
of the Legislature
themselves unlocable
in those situations
4. Making known to all
what connections there
are between the persons
so located, and the members
of the Legislature

Under the uncertainty
which form may be
most effective, hence
the use of employing the
double mode of voting
in the case of the votes
given by the members
of the Legislature.
