1823. Feb. 27
Greece

The will of the greatest number being supposed to be under
the guidance of the true interest of the greatest number, constantly, and by
sufficiently apt means, aiming at the production of the greatest happiness
of the greatest number (and on no other supposition can the existence
of a representative democracy be justified) behold this then, in respect
of subordination and dependance the only system as between between authority
and department and department authority, department and department, the only system state of
things, the production of which in so far as possible, can be
justified. It is that by which the conduct of every subordinate
functio functionary is placed, in a state of as strict and absolute dependence as is possible, in the
aggregate with of those under among among whom the superior power of
the state is shared: and these are the number members of the Constitutive department constitutive body
– the individuals controlling by their respective suffrage to the
constituting and placing in their respective places the several functionaries
among whom the power of the principal, called the legislative branch of the Operative department
is shared. Now Of the conduct of the several members of the
Supreme legislative body the dependence on the will aggregate will
of their immediate and only superior the sharer of their immediate and only superiors – the sharers possessors of shares in the supreme
constitutive power, can not can not it will readily be admitted, be too strict. Why? because it is
for to no other end, than that of giving execution and effect to that which, on each occasion, it is
supposed, would have been the will of the superiors, had could
the details of the case have been before them, with sufficient time for
consideration and discussion, would have been their will in relation with relation
to the subject in question, – it is no other end than this, that this department with its subordinate
power is created, this superior the functionaries belonging to the superior and supreme department, namely the Constitutive being by other and still
to by from taking direct and more indispensably occupations – namely that of providing for
co government of it providing for all classes taken together the
means of continuing their existence, prevented from
taking direct and particular cognizance of that which requires
to be done.
