1824. May 4
Constitut. Code

As to the means applying as above to appropriate
moral aptitude, substantially they are the same with those there is not one of them of which an exemplication
employed for the same purpose of them may not be seen in the Constitution of the
Anglo-American United States.

Under that constitution, in so far as depends
on government, has uncontrovertibly been and continues to be enjoyed
a greater quantity of quantity of happiness in proportion to population
than in any other political community in these
or other times any other times.

By that one example is excluded, and for ever, all ground
for the apprehension, real or pretended, of inaptitude on
the part of the people at large as to the making choice
of their own Agents for conducting the business of government.

Under that Constitution No where else has universal satisfaction been manifested: satisfaction with the form
of the Government, and satisfaction with the mode in which, and satisfaction with the hands
by which, the business of it has been carried on. No other
political community is there or has there been, in which all alon has been persons so disposed
have taken to large a part in the conduct and
examination of the affairs of government. No wh other
in which the part so taken has been so perfectly unproductive
of disorder and suffering in every shape.

No other Constitution is there or has there been, under which, in anything like
so small a degree, the interests and happiness of the many
has been sacrificed to that of the ruling and influential
few: no other, under which what yet remains of that sinister
sacrifice will, with so little difficulty, and sooner or later
with such perfect certainty, be abolished.
