Ch. False or sinister ends of procedure

What the ends of the system of procedure ought to be – what
the legitimate ends of that system are, has just been seen. It has They have been seen
in some detail: but had they been the ramification of them
been carried out on ever so far, they would have all of them be
been not the less reducible to one common branch – one
general and universal end – the only one legitimate end
of all law, substantive as well as adjective substantive and adjective taken together, the happiness
the interest of the community, for whose governance they were have been
made.

Thus much as to what ought to have been, and
might have been, and even or rather may be in future: may no one
knows not what distant future contingent period, may be
coming from thence to what has have been, and still is are.

As to what is are and has been and, now still is, if we inquire
what in the framing of the existing system actually in
force has been the end actually in view, we shall obtain

interest of the set class of men by which in and for each country that
system has been framed.

Had Suppose the interest of that class of men coincided
in this respect behalf with the interest of the framers of the system
and suppose at the same time that adequate on the part of the persons in question intelligence adequate
to the successful pursuit of that common end had was not been wanting,
the result would have been the same, as if with
the same adequate degree of intelligence, they had been exclusively occupied
in the endeavour pursuit to accomplish that common end.
