The will of the people is determined by the interest of the people, so far
as that interest is understood by them.
In not being understood or were to be presumed: for if not by them by who else
is understood?

1. The supreme operative body acts should act without division.
2. It should not act in so many as two bodies: even though
the members were located by the best compounded set of locators
i.e. Electors, much less in more than two.

2. Much less should it be composed of two or more independently
acting operating bodies: the each taking cognizance of the same
measure after the other.

3. Still less should enter into the composition of it a body of men
located for a by a Chief Functionary, or set of Chief Functionaries,
established for the purpose, sitting for life or sitting for a long time
of years or for life.

4. Least of all should enter into the composition of it a
body of men, succeeding to one another in the way of genealogical
succession.
