By aptitude and inaptitude, what is here, on each
occasion meant – is – aptitude or inaptitude with reference
to the purpose of producing such greatest happiness or
say maximum of felicity as above.
When inaptitude is thus charged the against this or that arrangement
a charge of inaptitude is made, the source of the proof
by which the charge is meant considered as supported is – referable to either the
head of general experience; or to that of particular experience: general experience
viz. of those points in human conduct and disposition which

According to the projet in question the framer of the Grecian
Constitution have put already themselves in possession of all some of those good points
or and for aught appears, may do so without difficulty do so
in regard to all the others.
The Greek Constitution (so I will call it for shortness) has in it good points which the Spanish Constitution
perhaps could not have had, certainly leave out can not a present be seen to have.
The Spanish Constitution has several very bad
points, from which the Greek Constitution has the happiness
of being free.
Upon the whole reference had to the greatest happiness of the greatest number the Greek Constitution seems greatly preferable
to the Spanish. It is even greatly preferable to the Portuguese,
though by the Portugueze considerable improvements have been
made upon the Spanish.
It has at the same time on the other hand relation always had to the
abovementioned only exclusively and uncontrovertibly right and proper end of government, many
