Economy

In proportion as the result of the division or rather multiplication
of barriers that must be passed through are a measure
at reactive the end of its , is favorable to fictitious delay, delay
is
fictitious delay is resorted to preference to argument.
But it is in the nature of argument, on the supposition that
it the end pursued is the universal interest and not particular interest – at the that
the further from being preponderantly beneficial
a measure is, the more likely it is to be put aside by
argument; the more highly beneficial, the less likely
to be thus put aside: whereas fictitious delay is equally
contributes according to the length of it – contributes in
the same proportion in the one as in the other, to put aside the
best and the worst.

If by in consequence of precipitation, a measure law measure
the effect of which is upon the whole preponderantly evil receives
the sanction of law, – the evil of was is not incapable of being removed by a subsequent
law: – whereas to whatever b is the sum of the delays
produced in all measures without distinction by the dilatory
system remains forever uncompensated.

True it is – that where by reason of precipitation, a
measure productive of pre a balance on the side of evil
receives the sanction of law, – so long as the law remains
unrepealed, the evil continues on the encrease. But, by
the application, – being, as it is, indebted for its existence to precipitation
and nothing is else – being such that it had it not been
for the precipitation, it would not have passed but
would have been rejected – rejected before the evil had begun to
show itself – still more surely will it the system be rid of
it, now that the correctness of the general anticipative of judgment, has been demonstrated
by experience.
