Constitutional CodeNote (a) continued
Ch. IX. Ministers collectively
§. 3. Number in an Office

of the practice, that to the reduce the government to
a state of dissolution the suspension of legislative operations
for a single year would be sufficient: the provision for pecuniary
supplies and that for the keeping on foot the Army being annually
renewed or continued. But the quantity of his while
the time necessary to those arrangements is thus necessary
to the continuance of the government, the time which shall be
occupied in those arrangements depends absolutely upon
that same Executive authority in the exercise of which
the Officers in question will have been committed.
Thus on the delinquents it will always depend whether
they or any of them shall be accused, and if accused
whether they or any of them shall be punished.

de jure; and if it is not also a compleat despotism
de facto, it is owing to the power light left to favor, – and
a verbal negative upon all penal laws the power influence
by exercised by the Public Opinion Tribunal, but
exercised in bound to law, and only by the sufficience of
those whom to whom by law that is to say by Judge made law
