Promulgation § 16
§ 15. Facilitating the knowledge of the laws.
To give a separate article to the expedients of this
nature may be thought idle: for of what use can
any law be, it may be said, any farther than
it is known? Even amongst the most ignorant weakest & lowest of the people What master of a family so foolish
and unreasonable, as to expect that a servant to obey
orders that have never been communicated to him?
[To this there is no making a reply, except by stating
the matter of fact, which unhappily is that too notorious
to be disputed] How is it to be supposed then
that when a legislator makes a law he would ever
omitt to take any of those steps which are necessary
to its being known by those who are to obey it concerned
in it. Enactment and a sufficient degree the requisite mode &
degree of
promulgation must
in practise surely be inseparable: and in cases
where the former has taken is supposed to have taken
place it is nugatory to suppose the latter can
have been unattended to.] To state exhibit a distinction
between pr enactment and promulgation, and to [suggest propose
an] addi call for attention to the latter point in addition
to the former is surely an idle a trifling refinement
suggested by theory and unnecessary in practise. The
case however is just the reverse. Reason would shew represent
them as inseparable: but experience unhappily but too
general proves that t no two objects are more distinct.
