§. Foundation

Those Among those who have not given in to the absurdity
of attempting to give perpetuity and unabrigability and thence perpetuity
to laws commonly so called – to laws emanating from the
sovereignty, are some who have given in to the absurdity of
endeavouring to give the same force and prominence to foundations: that
is to say and thereon to codes of law emanating from individuals, from
individual by whom no pretension to any share in the sovereignty
otherwise the in any shape is pretended other than that in which it is in the
way in question exercised by them. The What then in substance
does the claim doctrine in question amount to? It is this – that it is consistent
with and conducive to the proper end of government – the
greatest happiness of the greatest number – that to every individual
who chooses to possess himself of it should belong belong the power
of making laws and by force of them procuring compliance
to any effect he pleases, and giving to human conduct direction
in any line he pleases, to the extent of the influence capable
of being exercised by the expectation of enjoying or endeavouring to enjoy
a share of the matter of good employed by him in the endeavour
to produce those several effects by means of the power capable
of being given to it by its being employed in the character of matter
of reward.
