Constitutional Code – U.S.Appendix
Features discarded
Ch. VI. Legislature
§. 1. Composition U.S. Senate
Rationale
Here then to this body of men who are wise by creation in addition to the just mentioned share in Legislative
power is given a corresponding share of in administrative
power: in the power of location – in the power of patronage,
the President being endowed with the remainder.
Behold now the what follows consequence
Number of Members in this body, 40: majority requisite
and sufficient for this purpose, 21. How then in the instance
of each location is the matter to be settled? Discussion toties
quoties ex as between President and Senate as between each
of those 40 Senators and every other would be a most tedious
process: in the Senate more particularly scarcely might
the whole of the Official time suffice for it. Incomparably
shorter and mre convenient will would have been the dividing
the patronage between the two authorities: As the minority, they to wit 19
having no power the trouble of consideration and discussion is a
trouble from of which they may be spare relieved. Remains the majority,
21: should it happen that in the collision of wills, owing
to any difference of force as between will and will, a number
more of less given exceeding that of the bare majority have been
let in to a share in the mass of good things, the difference
in ultimate effect can not be very considerable. Patronages to be
worth anything must have at least one office for the subject
matter of it. Here those on the supposition of an equitable
and mutually commodious plan of partition – here we have
for each one of the majority of the Senate (say 21) one
office: together 21 Offices: remains number remaining for the President – (this
number must unavoidably be left as blank), the number
that may actually have been agreed upon and acted upon,
bids defiance to conjecture, it will have depended upon
comparative strength of will as between one side and the other.
