Inalienability by Settlement
II. In favour of
factitious Successors.

This a case
of Foundation

Foundations
What objects
they ought to
be allowed to
have –

They ought not
to be considered
as perpetual
against the legislature.

It would be giving
individuals
a power of legislation
greater
than that of the
legislature itself.

Foundations for
exalted indigence
are among the most unexceptionable
instances:
but even these
are bad in as
far as they prevent
recheats
the produce of
which would go
in relief of the
hardest taxes.

making the legacy an
instrument of power
ought to be void – &
the bequest absolute

Restraining can
Reason every man
is the best judge of
what is best for
himself.

Examples
1. Conditions in restraint
of marriage –
restraining a man
from marrying a particular
woman.

2. Bequest on condition
of marrying a
particular woman.
It should be left either
to the man or to the
woman, leaving them
free to choose whether
they will intermarry.

Conditions leading
to equalization of
fortunes – may be
allowed if not made
the instrument of power
as above.
