Indirect Legislation § 7
Physical § 7.
1
It is the physical
sanction which is
applied pure,
when danger or
impediment is made
to accompany
the forbidden attempt,
without
any intermediate
intervention act of
the will
We come now to consider that branch of
legislation which consists in the culture of the
physical sanction. This might seem at first
sight to be a contradiction in terms: since [the
physical sanction by being cultivated if we so
say and [applied by] taken brought under the management of the pol legislator is converted
into the political. Indeed the application
of which this head is not very extensive admitts of any great varieties . The
confined case to which it applies is nothing
more than this: viz: where the [inclination being
the point in object upon which the expedient acts] expedient
being pointed against the inclination,
the means which it employs consist in
some sort of a pain or mischief of some sort
or other of which in the nature of a punishment is
to either render'd caused or suffer'd to attach
take place as a consequence of the offence,
but if caused, caused in such a manner as
to ensue directly upon the event of the offence,
without any intermediate the interposition of the
any intermediate agency.
