Fallacies

Ch. Posterity
§.2. Exposure

or 3 4

2. 2 or 3 If it were right that in relation to any one
part of the field of legislation the sovereign for the time
being should consider his hands tied and himself
pro tanto devested of his power and dethroned by the acts of some
predecessor who could not know what he was it was doing,
so would it in relation to any other and every
other part of that same field: and the power thus
granted to each legislator could not be denied to any
one.

One consequence would be that it would be
right that every legislator should make laws for future
time, no legislator make any laws for his own time

Another consequence would be that should it
enter into the head of any legislator to enact that
no laws a law forbidding all other legislators succeeding sovereigns from
doing any act in exercise of the power of legislation
this would also be right: it would be right for such
legislator to issue deliver the prohibition: it would be right
for all future legislators to conform pay obedience to it.
