Constitut. Code
24.
Advantages from looking
to power before
will – the less the power
you have to contend
with, the less difficulty
in dealing with
the will.
Thus as above. Power
perpetual, small the
quantity that by encrease
in intensity,
and exent may & will
be despotism. Power
short, in intensity &
extent it may be made
absolute, without sw
swelling into despotism
and with little danger
of its so doing. Witness
Dictators.
25.
Note 1. To establish
security, lawgivers
must establish insecurity:
viz. as against
rulers.
2. Without this risk,
no security against
foreign enemies or
unimpowered malefactors.
3. By badness of other
Governments, each is
prevented from making
his own so
good as it might be.
26.
Instruments of this
mischief, Standing
Armies. In the strength
of foreign armies, rulers
of each State find
a pretence for assuming
the like instrument
of strength, and
subjects an inducemt.
to acquiesce in it.

27.
Hence demand for
counterforce in a
National Militia.
28.
The more extensive
this counterforce, the
more extensive the
security afforded by it
viz.
1. Against force in enemies.
2. Against rulers.
29.
Popular armed force
maximized, so is the
security afforded by
this counterforce. Instruments
of oppression
in rulers hands, none:
no matter would it have
to operate upon.
30.
Elementary of
this counterforce, Public
Opinion Tribunal
members.
31.
Advantages of this force.
1. For security against
foreign aggression adequate.
2. So against rulers aggression.
3. To aggression against
foreigners inapplicable.
32.
Expence, a minimum.
1. Sole money expence,
small arms.
2. Time expence, none:
what would be employed
in exercise and pastime
in other shapes
is employed in do. in
this shape.
