Evil effects from the conditions & 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 more than 25.

The reduction less Even tho restriction in the case of the House of
Representatives tho' so much less close, seems to be unwarranted: & if pernicious
upon the whole, even in that case, in the case of the Senate it cannot
but be still more pernicious.

In the opinion The persons- the Electors of the Electors to whom a man is known the <add>individual man is personally
he is not upon the whole unapt; though short of the
age antecedently to which, in the opinion of the
legislator in question, on the part of the average of
such persons as are capable of being chosen,
aptitude is not so probably as inaptitude, still in
the opinion of the only Judges who have the
means of observation, he is really apt. Whence
comes so peremptory a decision? Is it that
general presumption is an apter ground for action
than particular observation. No: but that on
this occasion the legislators themselves were
unapt were led astray by an error a propensity- an error (the causes
of which see below,) by self-conceit, by a sort of weakness
which is the cause of silly ill judges legislatorsion in
many instances besides this.
