Measures of Unity.

This Act has not Unity of Subject —
But It has not Unity of Object+ + meaning thereby the person to whom the mandates or Prohibitions are adressed: Common Language has unhappily confounded the Import of the word Object with that of End or Design. - for it's objects as
we have seen come as we have seen under 27 several Denominations

But the Objects of a Law Code may be distinguished
under into the Direct Primary <add>Original</add> & 2d the Incidental
The Direct being the persons to whom the
Substantive provisions are adressed - the
Incidental, those to whom the Adjectives, are
addressed.

Tho' it possesses not strictly speaking Unity
as far as respects the Direct Objects: yet it possesses
Simplicity.

It possesses Simplicity - because the direct objects tho' of
more than one Denomination, yet become require their
character of objects no otherwise than in virtue of
the several relations they bear to one Subject.

<p>It has not strictly in strictness speaking Unity of Design
[or End]

preventing mischiefs from this weak -ness of their construction++ ++Besides this the 22d Section is solely occupied about directing a more commodious conveyance for the water

Unity of Subject is sufficient found Cause of Union
for Unity of Enactment Aggregate Enactment
For Distribution Analytical Enactment Publication, Unity of Direct
Object is necessary.

But for Aggregate Enactment, the Subject should
not only be one, but exhausted all comprehensive. — And this
is not so — For it includes no Provisions against
Willfull Fire-raising — Indeed these to be all-comprehensive
adequate to the as to the Design must pinch upon
other Subject — as Mines & Vessels.
