Constitutional Code U.S.Appendix
Features discarded.
Ch. XI Legislature
§. 1. Comparative: or House, one. U.S.
Rationale
Evil effects from the condition feature and power actually
but not necessarily attached.
Evil 3. 1. Age of the functionary not less than 30 years
while the age of a member of the House of Representatives need
not be less more than 25.
Art. 2. Even The less than restoration reduction in the case of the House of Representatives
though so much less close seems to be unwarranted: that and, if pernicious upon even in that
whole case, in the one case of the Senate it can not but be still more
pernicious.
The persons – the Electors In the opinion of the Electors to whom (or is The men individual is personally)
the he is not inapt: the upon the whole unapt: though short
of the age at whi antecedently to which in the opinion of the legislature
in question, on the part of the average of such persons as are capable of being chosen aptitude is not so probable as inaptitude, still
in the opinion of the only judges who have the means of observation
he is really apt. Whence comesso peremptory a decision?
Is it that general presumption is an apter ground for action than
particular observation? No: but that on this occasion the legislature
themselves very unapt were led astray by an the a proposition a propensity – an error
(the causes of which see below): by self conceit, by a sort of weakness which is the cause
of setting ill judged legislation in many instances besides this.
