1831 Aug. 27
Constitutional Code

In the case of an absolute Monarchy the greatest
happiness of the ruling one is, of course, the only ultimate
end of government: if in and by the power exercised by an to the happiness of any other individual
of the community is in any degree an object of
regard, it is only in so far as such happiness chances
to be regarded by him as a means of effectuation conducive promising
to be conducive to that end: in proportion as the
community in general, and thence the Monarch as part and
parcel of it grows more and more enlightened, the
subserviency of the happiness of the rest of the community to
that of the Monarch is better understood: but be it
ever so well understood the happiness of no individual other
than himself can under a Monarchy be in the breast of the Monarch
the object of regard.

Of its use being so, his continuance in the situation
of Monarch is a plain and uncontrovertible part.

In vain would he or any man of law say – I understand on every occasion what soever on
each, and every occasion is more conducive to the happiness of the whole people "I understand
it better than it would be understood by any set of persons
chosen by the people themselves. What is possible, is – that by
a person of the male sex, of at a matured time of life their
opinion in regard to himself may really be entertained:
what is not possible is – that this same opinion should
be entertained by him in relation to relation to a child
of either sex of any age between one day and for example
six, eight, ten, twelve, or 14 years. As little possible is it that this opinion should
be entertained by him in relation to a person of either sex or
any age in state of mental derangement. And yet whence
Monarchy is established, such are the hand in into which the
whole power is in the habit of falling, and everywhere liable to
fall: in either of which case what in the hands into which it shall
fall, and what their relative aptitude shall be, is matter of accident.
