Rid Yourselves
§.6 Conservative Amendmt impossible
1.
To the weaknesses in §.4
the infallibility – assuming
and Amendment – barring
375. excludes all remedy.
For no mischief any
prevention till 8. years
plus
after it has happened.
The article quoted: example
of the excess possible
to self-sufficiency with
inaptitude. In 2,000 years,
the Constitution will not
have been "carried into
"practice in all its parts."
Already noted in J.B.
to Portuguese is this bar
to amendment and hope.
1.(a.)
For alliance between great
power and madness, see
Royal and Scotch Aristocratical
families.
2.
Spaniards, despair not.
Not Spanish but human
nature is this folly. In
U.S. see the same principle,
only the demand for alteration
is less, and faculty
for alteration after no long
interval established: U.S.
where, notwithstanding
the embarrassment of
federal government, the
Constitution is so little short
of perfection.
3.
Plea for amendment exclusion
– short method of
excluding attempts at re-establishing
despotism.
Answer. The majority
is it yours? it will bar
out all separate attempts
without the amendment
excluding clause. Is it against
you? it will re-establish
the despotism notwithstanding
that clause.

3. contind.
Best instrument, the English,
viz: the previous
question: gentle and simple:
no blindness: no insincerity:
no self exultation,
involving insult to the
rest of mankind.
3.(a)
English succedaneum
to amendment excluding
clause binding the whole
supreme power – Oath –
Coronation Oath – binding
one part of it the King.
4.
More difficult to remove
the alteration excluding
bar in this than any
other instance.
1. Protest in Cortes by
real or pretended Ultramaria
Deputies.
2. Vigour added by the
excitation to the vis intertiae
which of itself was
found sufficient to render
obtainment of contributions
from Ultramaria
impracticable.
