Constitutional Code

Ch. XXVII. Government Federative
1 §.1 Information to the Legislator
§.1. Topics for consideration

Ch. XXVII
Government simple or federative
Government federative — modifications what requisite
Instructions to the Legislator.

Art. 1. Throughout the Code the supposition has been that
the form of Government being Republican is simple in contradistinction
to federative.

But in fact among republics the federative form
is most in use. From this consideration arise many unavoidable
questions

1. Considered in general which form is preferable

2. Supposing the simple form preferable — to wit by reason of its
simplicity, are there any and what cases of exception
in which the federative government is matter of necessity
or a fit object of preference.

3. In either case, what are the alternatives, by which the
simple form here exhibited may in the most advantageous
means be altered into the federative?

Note that even supposing in the political state in question the
federative government the only one which circumstances admitt
of the formation of, the present Code though adapted penned
on the supposition that the Government is proposed to be of the
simple kind is not the less adapted to the purpose for a
federative Government of view, supposing the only form employed the federative.
To convert it into a federative Government all that is
wanting is the giving appropriate powers to the several
Sublegislatures.
