1827. April May 3
Constitutional Code

1
Ch. XXX Simple or Federative
(1 §.

Federative system
difficulties. 1. as to substance
2. as to form.

To a degree which can not but call forth the strongest In an abundance in the breast of a lover of mankind
proportionable regret, the federate system teems with presents to view a host of difficulties

These difficulties stand themselves into two classes: 1. Those
which regard the substance of the arrangements and 2. those which
regard the form, meaning in this case those which regard the operation
of giving apt and adequate expression to both whatsoever arrangements
may have come to be on all sides really intended.

As to substance the
securing sufficient
supplies personal and
real

In regard to substance, how to secure in the proportions quantities absolute and relative
apt and agreed upon, supplies as the the affording of the requisite supplies in
the two shapes necessary to wit the material personal and the
real — men, and money or money's worth — such is these are the
problem for which solution is required.

Anglo american states
not a model for Spanish
Americam. Difference
in their respective
attitude as to intelligence
at the time of their
formation

An idea which will be apt to present itself at the
and which unless corrected will be but too apt to produce
error in practice is this — namely that to establish
an effective and permanent union of this kind nothing more
is necessary than to take for the model and for a subject matter
of exact imitation the system exemplified in the case of the Anglo
American States. In one essential particular circumstance the case of
that confederacy is but too widely different from all those which
in the same continent have are either been already formed, or are
on the way so to be. This is, the eminent attitude of
which at the time the occurrence in question found the problem seated in
the seat of political and legislative intelligence: together with coupled with
the correspondently low degree of that same to which public mind
had been reduced by Spanish tyranny and Portuguese
misrule.

With all its appropriate aptitude moral and intellectual
the Anglo-American confederacy was within an ace of dissolution.
What a prospect for the several Spanish-bred confederacies.
