Parricide Punishment
why extraordinary

I appoint this extraordinary punishment — 1. to
satisfy the public indignation (viz. of those who speculate) and contribute to the
popularity of the Code : [+] [+] To serve as the purpose of a moral
lesson by encreasing the
detestation of against the offence 3dly because the thought of perpetuating
of a murderer of this sort shews a man to be more
depraved and consequently to stand in need of a severe
punishment to restrain him than an ordinary murderer:
in other words it shews him to less sensible
to the influence of the moral sanction and therefore
it is necessary to make addition to the force of the
political.
