Tit. B. &c.
High Court I do not like a Court that is dependent upon
nobody: a Court that is dependent upon nobody
is dependent upon its own passions and caprice.
Depe Independence may makes virtue as towards
this is that man or body of men: but it is
dependence that makes virtue as towards the
body of the people.
I see the root of the error: I am already
treading on it. It has in received theories and
current nomenclature and the current nomenclature
which is the result and support
preservative
values of these theories. My preservative efficient
cause of a good constitution and antidote against
arbitrary power is very simple: it is
the dependence of all magistracy upon the body
of the people. The current theories place it in
the devision of power. The current nomenclature
accordingly divides power into legislative
and executive or into legislative administrative
and judicial: no two of these branches
of power says the theory, nor any thing that
belongs to either of them ought to be in the same
hand. This is the old Roman and Machiavellian principle.
