1827 May 9
Procedure Code

Preface

Of the substantive branch of the law the only
defensible object or end in view is the maximization of
the happiness of the greatest number of the members of the
community in question.

Of the adjective branch of the law or say of
the law procedure the only defensible object or say end in
view is the maximization of the execution and effect given
to the substantive branch of the law.

The present proposed Code is composed of an
aggregate of arrangements having the above for their
object or end in view. It is the first proposed Code that
has ever been in truth directed either exclusively or
mainly to that same object.

Of every extensive body of law the end mainly
at least if not exclusively in view has been the greatest
happiness of those by whom the body of law in question was
made.

Consistently with the nature of man and the
preservation of his species no other no other would any extensive body
of law have had for its end in view. For proof of this
position see Constitutional Code

In a representative democracy if rightly
constituted the possessors of the constitution or supreme
authority are the aggregate body of the members
fitted for self-government, the possessors of the legislative
authority their delegates and thence in so far as they
can be caused to be or influenced by their will and seen
by one another so to be.
