Of Whatever there is in the English Constitution that is conducive
to the greatest happiness of the greatest number has found
in the such influence as the greatest number have been able to exert
its only cause.

Under the English Constitution the whole [of the operating] power of the government
is divided among between three branches: that of the King, that of
the House of Lords and that of the House of Commons.

Over On the composition of the House of Commons, and thence
on its operations when composed the people have at all
times had some influence. In this influence will be found
if any where all that is good in the composition of the whole
Government — of all that is conducive to the end universally acknowledged
as the only proper and justifiable end.

[Proportioned to the number of those who, each man
in an equal proportion, contribute to the choice determination of the persons
by whom the immediate powers of government are exercised, will be the
number of those whose interest in the exercise given to those
powers will be endeavoured to be preferably promoted.

The persons to the promotion of whose interest the exercise of the powers
of government is directed will be not only the persons by
whom those powers are exercised but also the persons who to on
whom whose will it depends that they shall be in possession of the exercise
of those powers: and this will depend upon the will of
all those persons over whom the powers are exercised it will
depend who shall be in the exercise of those powers, if by
in so far as by an exercise a manifestation of their will it is in their
power to cause those persons to be no longer in possession of the
exercise of those same powers.]
