Constitutional Code. Ch. XXI Law Practitioners
§.
Art. 10 Thus it is that Necessary indeed to justice is the existence
of this profession: for many there will always be who
can neither themselves perform nor engage others not with appropriate
aptitude either themselves perform or engage others gratuitously to
perform in every case those operations which will be necessary to enable a man
with effect to prosecute just claims a just claim, or defend himself against
unjust ones. To both True it is that to both purposes or the
Judge may do much: beyond and under this Code more beyond
comparison more than under any as yet established Code
real or imaginary. But he can not do every thing. He can
not run about after witnesses: he can not search in
bureaus and boxes for parchment and papers: these things
time requisites all necessary would all be wanting to him many and make – and
other inducements would all be wanting to him – have
money, and motive.
Art. 11 Under the most perfect system of legislation use
indispensably uniform, necessary core to justice itself will be the sy existence of this profession
and if it be at once an evil and that a necessary one it is
not by a great many the only one that is so. But because it is necessary
and core to justice that this class of men should be in existence it is not necessary
that from out of this class should be taken those of whom the
class of Judges is composed. It is Necessary the to cleanliness
that there are scavengers, dust-men and night-men: but
it is not necessary that out of those that functionaries should be chosen who
are in a private family household are employed to work at table.
But being those degraded in character public estimation, they and being
from that which upon misconduct which is convoluted by the force
of loss of character, they will be so much the more mischievous and disposed to lend themselves to mischievous design. Talk but plea, he who does least mischief is he not
he who has least but he who has most power to do it. The more a
man is degraded the more he will be suspected; the more he is suspected
the more closely he will be watched: the more closely will is he watched
the less is the mischief which he will see a prospect of doing with
impunity. and other The of Cases of special sympathy and from probity apart,⊞ ⊞ and probity too rare to be ordinarily upon, the more
confidence you give a man beyond what is necessary, the more he will abuse it. In a representative democracy
in proportion as it pursues the end of its institutions, confidence in public functionaries is minimized.
