to all subordinate offices is as applicable
to the constitution of an absolute a monarchical as of a mixt government.
If he the sovereign has an interest in keeping
himself free from the restraints of law, he has none
in communicating the like license to his servants. It will be no diminution
of his power
to establish laws
His
conduct power will never be re undergo no restraint diminution from
laws which have not his conduct for their object.
Laws limiting subordinate po officers in the exercise
of power may be distinguished into two classes: the
one limiting the cause for which such or such a
power shall be exerted: the other the formalities course to
be observed in its exertion. These causes and these
formalities should all be specifically enumerated in the tenor of
the law: that done, the subject should be apprized
that such those and those only are the causes for which
his personal security can lawfully be infringed upon, his
reputation shaken, his property violated or his liberty
abridged. The first and opening law then with
which every body of laws should open should be an
all comprehensive law of liberty: a law restraining the
hand
