Constitut. Economy CodeCh. XXX Governmt Simple or Federative
Ch.. VI. Legislature
§. Securities

For the formation of a well grounded and mature well matured judgment
on this question in relation to this subject take the expe body of experience already
obtained in the Congress of the Anglo-American United States. Take any
one year or any number of years: take an account of the whole
number of laws passed and rejected within that time, and say
1. Total number of laws introduced into the Senate from the
House of Representatives, so many
2. Whereof Passed; so many
3. Rejected, so many
Then take in hand the number of those rejected and say
4. Introduced and passed in a subsequent session so many.
Of these unless some special and adequate reason to the
contrary it ought to be assumed that they were have upon the
whole been and continue to be of a beneficial nature.
5. Of those rejected, pernicious upon the whole upon a present view if any, so many
6. Of those rejected, pernicious as above but what
had it not been for the existence of the Senate would it is
nev now supposed have been rejected by the Chamber of Representatives,
so many
7. Of those rejected, deemed, now upon a mature view of
the subject, beneficial upon the whole, so many.

Such is the plan recommended to each individual for
the formation of his own particular opinion.

Supposing the balance to have on the account of aptitude of good and evil in all
other shapes, to being hang exactly even, the consideration of expence
will suffice to turn it, and the scull with the Second Chamber
in it will kick the beam.
