1824. April 11
Constitutional Code.

Art. 72 The smallness of the small sum which a
candidate for a situation is content to accept in as a remuneration and compensation
in consideration of his charging himself with the
duties of the it is a not only an instrument of frugality
in relation to it, but a security for the, and an instrument
of maximization in relation to appropriate aptitude in
every shape as to the function belonging to it.

Observations in proof of this practice are the following

1. Abstraction made of Other circumstances the greater stronger the relish a man has
for the occupation in question, the more closely and assiduously attentively and constantly will he apply himself attend to them, the greater is the aptitude
which he is likely to possess in regard to the exercise of it operations belonging to it.

The less the remuneration the Candidate is content to take
for charging himself with the duties of the situation the greater the relish he thereby shows himself to have for the
occupations belonging to it.

3. The If, instead of merely reducing the amount of
the remuneration, the sum he given is so great as to exceed
the value of it, the greater the such excess the greater still is the
relish this proved to be for the this same occupation. He purchases a
seat in the office as other persons purchase a seat in a place
of amusement.

4. The larger the sum he given for it, the less is the
mass of opulence the matter of wealth of the maker of the wealth left in his possession.
But the less the mass of wealth in his a mans possession, the less powerful
and effectual are the means which he has in his hand
of furnishing a engaging accomplices and
protection and of deluding the people at large in the quality
of members of the Public Opinion Tribunal a of deluding them by
the display of his opulence into the false conceptions of his possessing a correspondent
degree of appropriate aptitude moral and intellectual appropriate
aptitude.
