Now then for the instances.
First as to all operations together, taken in the lump.

1. By Article 24. "To the President, namely of the so-stiled
"Legislative Senate, it belongs to determine the day on which
the sittings each sitting Session of that Assembly shall commence, and as also the day
"on which it any it shall terminate." Here then to If then he
fixes determines no such day, no such sittings Session can commence
have place: if at any time it be his pleasure that during the moreover if after such having been his pleasure so it be
begin and thus far continued it shall continue no longer that a Session has having commenced and for a certain time continued, his
pleasure in this behalf has changed he declares such his pleasure accordingly, and for that time a negative
is put by him in the lump, upon all Proceedings such proceedings of the Assembly
as the would otherwise have succeeded ensued. True it is that the by Article 17 to
that same Senate itself it belongs to choose this same single- high-seated
functionary. But, where once chosen the choice has been made, such as above, is the state
of dependence it is in which that body has been placed under an that its for own offspring
its existence. Suppose him to consign it to depend on for its very existence. Now , suppose him it an act of
what follows? His Answer – that by this means the this sort of parricide suppose it to have been committed: the
consequence is – that what is left of the powers of government falls of itself into
the lap of the so stiled Executive Council with its
five Members, acting as they are to do in a perpetually secret conclave.

Supposing him to have (under Article 24), put an end to the existence of
those his creators, by Article 25 he is empowered at any time
to bestow upon them at any time a new existence.
"In case of need" (says this 25th Article) "he may
"convoke the Senate to enter upon an extraordinary Session".
Thus is it in its power rests at all times it his choice whether to sell existence to
them at what his own price he pleases, or to leave them in a
state of annihilation. If and so long as they are sufficiently obsequious, he
has them here: if infractory he consigns them to an suffers them to act accordingly: if infractory, he lays them asleep:
not between: and so toties quoties. Thus far as to the negative or veto in the hands of the President, on the operations of the so-stiled
Legislative Senate taken in the aggregate.
