1826. March Constitutional Code Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively
§. Subordination Grades

Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively
§. Subordination.

23.
Art. 23. By mere distance,
without need
of distinct appropriate
skill, a demand
may be created for
a grade of subordination
for the purpose
of direction.

24.
Art. 24. Examples.
Foreign Relation Department.
State commercial
agents, or
say Consul's station
at the same distance
from the Foreign
Relation Minister's
Official Residence
no demand can
have place for Vice
Consul. But between
station and station
suppose a certain
distance, it may be
necessary that, under
one such agent
there may be one
or more taking direction
from him before
they can be recd. from
the Minister.

25.
Art. 25. So perhaps it
may happen in the
case of the Letter post
branch of the business
of the Interior
Communication
Minister's Subdepartment.

Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively
§. Subordination.

26.
Art. 26. Wheresoever,
for the dispatch of the
business belonging to
an official situation
a demand has place
for more writing,
than the occupant
of that situation can
himself perform within
the time requisite,
need has place for a
writing functionary
called a clerk by whom,
for this purpose, direction
can not but be
taken from the functionary
first mentioned.
The grade of Writing
Clerk will therefore be
the lowest grade in
every Subdepartment
if any subordinate to
it, whatsoever be the
number of the
subdepartments.

27.
Art. 27. But it follows
not that the pay of the directing
must be greater
than that of the
Writing functionary.
The reverse will
generally be the case. For
without pay, the Writing
Clerk, having no power,
can scarcely ever
have any adequate
inducement for
bestowing his labour:
whereas, the functionary
to whom his office gives

27 contind.
gives power, may
in many cases, as
per art ^^^ find, in
that same power:
alone, no adequate
inducement.
-----

28.
Art. 28. At the outset,
the Legislature will
in each subdepartment
establish such grades
of subordination as at
that time appear needful:
adding to or subtracting
from the number
at all times in
any such manner
as experience, or change
of circumstances
may indicate.

29.
Art. 29. Of subdepartments
in which the number
of grades needful will
naturally be smallest
Examples are
1. Election Minister.
Subordinates to him
needful.
1. Election Clerk at the
several District Election
Offices, as per Ch.
XI. Legislative §. 7.Election
Offices.
2. Vote receiving Clerks
at the several Sub Districts
Election Offices.
