1830. Jan. 1 – Written 1823. May 26.
Constitutional Code

2. As to the Double legislative or say Two-House system.

In this case neither is the absurdity there any absurdity that can be called flagrant, nor
comparatively speaking, in are the mischievousness effects very considerable.

This is the case of a good government: a good
government which for want of experience, is not
sufficiently satisfied with its own goodness.

In this case though perhaps by the restriction no very great
harm is done – for by the goodness of the government, the
possibility of all great harm has been effectually excluded
– yet some harm has been done, and with the
exception of such confidence and satisfaction thus produced as may have been thus produced
under the denomination of harm may be comprised every
thing that has been done: whatsoever effect has been produced.

In the Anglo American hemisphere, it is in the Anglo-American United States it is that
this system had its origin: in so far as it has been employed pursued
in any other State, it is from that State or cluster of States
that it has been copied or imitated. In these species,
the whole essence of the genus being contained, by no higher
ascent in the climax of generalization does any advantage
seem to be promised does any prospect of advantage seem
to be afforded.

To the case of the Anglo-American United States let the
examination therefore be limited confined. An individual object
being thus throughout in view by so much the more clearly
conceived will therefore be every idea which
will therefore be the conception produced by whatsoever
words the occasion may require to
be employed.
