1822. May 20. Constitutional Code.
1.The supreme operative body should act without division.
2. It should not act in so many as two bodies:
even though the members were located by the best
compounded set of locators — i.e. electors, — much
less in more than two.
2. Much less should it be composed of two or
more independently-operating bodies — each taking
cognizance of the same measure after the others.
2. Still less should enter into the composition
of it a body of men located by a Chief Functionary,
or set of Chief Functionaries, established
for the purpose, sitting for a long
time term of years or for life.
4. Least of all should enter into the composition
of it a body of men, succeeding to one
another in the way of genealogical succession.
