Reasons Panopticon Bill Choice
Upon what plan too could a new choice be
instituted? To whom committ the initiative? To
the Proposer ? alone? — that would lies open to
the objections already stated. To the Supervisors
appointed under the original plan? That would
be still recurring to the old farce of actum agere. Is it for them
to be called upon to condemn their former choice
and make a new one? to condemn too the 12 Judges
and their high Colleagues who confirmed it?
Once again to what purpose and on what grounds?
Other Trustees then must be looked out would be to be sought after for
the purpose. Wh But who then shall they be? In the
first place, by whom named? By Administration? —
be it so. But at whose suggestion? At
the Proposers? — This again would be another
farce. Without his privity then or approbation —
Observe the consequence. What shall be the
force and measure of their influence? Decision,
absolutely binding upon him, it can not never be. It
is out of his pocket that they money is to come
for the purchase of the land: it is out of his
pocket that the money is to come that is to be laid
out upon it. From Administration advances and assistance
are to come it is true; but this does not vary the
argument
