Constitutional Code

Evil 7. Establishment or encrease of corruption: is if by other
means corruption be already established, encrease given to the
quantity. Corruption has place and operation in so far as any individual
by means of a quantity of the matter of reward, that is of
the matter of good thus employed in his hands, turns aside the mans endeavour
of from the rendering go service to the community at large,
or service to themselves their own interest without prejudice to the interest of the community
at large to the rendering of service to his particular and
sinister interest to the prejudice and sacrifice of the interest of
the and not interest of the community at large to a preponderant
amount.

. In the Of the matter of corruption in this extraordinary
form it is the characteristic property to produce the corruptive sinister effect
on the minds of persons by in the most influential situations: of
producing it on those, at whose hands no such quantity of the matter of it.

Evil 8. In the case of a Constitution such as this which
has for the constant object of its constant endeavour the maximization of the happiness
of the greatest number, final destruction of the Constitution, by converting
it into one which had for the object of its endeavour the
maximization of the happiness of that one, at the expence and by
the sacrifice of the happiness of all the rest. For by the reward
quantity of the matter of reward in this shape placed in his
hands, accompanied, as by the supposition it is, with the faculty of giving
to it what whatever direction were in his eyes best suited to the advancement
of his own particular and sinister interest, he would render
subservient to that interest by degrees all functionaries having it at
their disposal the matter of reward in other shapes, and all functionaries
having at their disposal the matter of reward in other shapes,
and in this way he would acquire place in his own hands supreme
monarchical power, that having distributed among those the several subordinate
and with relation to his own subservient situations.

Not long ago by a King of England a garter was given to King
of Portugal, hence it would not have been lost under the assurance of its
having a obj a value, and as such being an object of desire in his
eyes. But if an object of desire to a Monarch, what would it not
be to a Prime Minister, or under him to his a subordinate of his, in an at the hand of of the S in that Subdepartment?
