Judicial Estab.
Judges

If unity is best in for judicature, why not
it may naturally be said in legislation? – The cases are very different There
are a thousand many points of difference. I need
mark but a few of them and that with the
slightest touch. In the exercise of the judicial
authority eloquence is not necessary, invention genius would
be pernicious: in legislation both are necessary:
genius to invent discover what is best and eloquence to
procure its recommend its reception. Both require he united associated
powers of many individuals.

In so vast a country as France number of those who share the legislative
power cannot if they partakers are to members of it depend upon the
body of the people be very small. The central districts</del>
The fewer they were are the more easy it would
be for the executive power to acquire gain
an ascendant over them by corrupt influence:
while the largeness of the electoral districts would
render the business of election embarassing, and
by rendering the effect reducing to insignificance
the value of a vote diminish the authority of
the Electors over their Deputies, which by encreasing
the value of a seat it would render expose the election contest to tumults
