Constitutl Code Economy &c2T
Prodigious is the mass of complication useless – needless
and mischievous complication – produced by limited and indistinct
views: in particular by views of evil, that which, in the instance of this or that
individual, would have place, were they not as they
are removed by a majority of so great, that
the what would be the evil, which would be produced by
the majority, whos in whose instance it has not place, is
drowned and in it and absorbed by it.
At the first concoction of the system, such mass
surplusage in this form is unavoidable, the grounds of action
remain as yet in a state of obscurity. But sooner or
later that which is superfluous comes to be discriminated discerned
and distinguished from that which is really necessary: then
it is that upon an all comprehensive survey those
the superfluous and useless matters may be cast out cleared away
and conciseness and transparency substituted to obscurity, and diffuseness
and turbidness.
1. Stages of Election. 2. stages of progress for a law. 3. Causes of exclusion
in an Election: 2. in a witness: in a candidate for useful instruction
☞ Try whether a list can be made, of the cases in which useless complication
have had place, and the instances classed.
The greater the number is of the seats of authority, through
which a useful measure ere it can be carried into effect must pass before execution and effect can be given to it, the greater the
number of places in stages at which sinister interest may apply itself
to encounter and obstruct it.
