Ch. VI. Legislative.
§. Continuation Committee
1.
Quest. 1. Provision,
why any?
2.
Reasons 1. Else,
unlimited delay to
unlimitedly important
arrangements.
3.
2. — or prevention of
existence.
4.
3. Waste of time.
5.
4. Information, if any
procured, liable to be
partial & delusive.
6.
5. Exclusion of beneficial
measures thro'
despair of completing
within time.
7.
6. Evil the greater,
the shorter legislature's
life: which, per Cade,
can not be ore
than one year; or
because of distance
two.
8.
7. Causes of it's own
adoption elsewhere, not
it's needlessness, but
authority begotten prejudice
& sinister interest.
In the earliest ages,
printing was not known,
writing very little, no such
information could be
collected. Then, it was
left uncollected,legislative
bodies not being
convened but for money
& the money got dissolved
to save Monarch's power.
Ch. VI. Legislative.
§. Continuatn. Committee
9.
Quest 2. Location why
given to Deputy, not to
Electors?
10.
Ans. 1. Benefit maximized.
2. Simplicity maximized.
Committees being universally
and necessarily employed,
suffer them to continue
death of the body
notwithstanding.
Objection answered.
Though not immediately,
these Committee men
will have been, as such,
interventionally, the
objects of the Elector's
confidence.
11.
3. Servants, not fellow
masters, they will be
on a footing with the
Ministers.
12.
4. Thus maximized is
the experience of which,
without diminution of
their power, Electors and
their Deputies wil have
the benefit.
13.
5. Thus, with increase of
the benefit from experience,
may that security
against abuse of power
be so established, w<hi rend="superscript">h,
as per next section, is
afforded by temporary
non-relocability.
Ch. VI. Legislative.
§. Continuatn. Committee
14.
7. Thus while inferior
aptitude goes out,
maximized will stay
in, unless inferior be
preferred to superior
aptitude, which there
seems no reason for
supposing
