2. Cause 2. Principle of imitation – authority-begotten
preopossession or prejudice.
Antecedently to practice examination deriv performed
the with a distinct view of the appropriate right and proper
end in view belonging to the subject, and the relation borne
borne to it by the several arrangements that present themselves
as capable of being conducive contributory to it, in the character
of means, causes comes impurity in every line of action, observation
of the arrangements that actually have been made to
take place, on the in parallel such cases as appear parallel to the
one upon the carpet.
Thus, in the establishment of legislative bodies, Number
of Chambers what shall it be. Look round the field of civilization.
In so many political States number of chambers
two or more: in so many others, if any, no more than one,
natural conclusion without further reflection: – therefore
two or more are better than one: more especially if the
condition of the community in which those two or more are observed is
with reference to that in question more familiar and
better known than any other.
In the Anglo American Union, – in the Constitution of the
Congress, the example of Great Britain might with naturally at the time
of the framing of the Constitution have been regarded as constituting
of itself a sufficient warrant for two Ch a second Chamber the Senate.
In the Constitution of the Mother Country action evil points really
existing and acknowledged in the self-emancipated Colonies to be evil to one, in abundance.
But among in the list of those evils it was not necessary that the existence
of a Second Chamber in the mere character of a Second Chamber
should have been be placed: accordingly in the list on that occasion
it appears not to have been generally placed: whatsoever evil was
ascribed to the existence of a Second Chamber in that case, was
naturally ascribed to the particular composition of it: to the situation of the
locating functionary, and to those other points of inaptitude that
have been already brought to view: the sinister interests and privileges possessed by
the Members and the utter absence of all dislocative power in relation to
them.
