Codification Proposal

§. The greatest happiness of the greatest number requires, that
from every person without exception proposed

§. 5. Draughtsman for the original draught might
draughts be admitted. Then for giving the utmost possible
to such practicable encrease in the number of such rival
draughts.

What is above has for its subject the characteristic
nature and plan of the proposed work.

What follows has for its subject the choice of heads
for the execution of it: always remembered that the work in being is – not the a
body of law in question in its ful ultimate state – in that the state in which it received the sanction
As to the point which is here maintained is of law from of the sovereign authority of the state community, but only the original
draught, drawn up for the in the view of its eventually receiving
the sanction of law as above, after receiving such undergoing any such alterations
as by that same authority shall have been made
in it. To give give to any such draught the force of law is to
it exercise the highest power in the State. I propose for that purpose
such By the mere preparing of any such draught no power at all is exercised⊞ ⊞ for the choice of those to whom that power belongs, no power at all is exercised.

As to the point the choice of heads what
that which has been the result of the present enquiry, and
is accordingly here maintained may be announced in
the first place by three short phrases
1. – Draughtsman single – his singleness and his personality that there is but one, and who that one is being known.
1.: That this same original draught should be the work of
some one hand, and not of any greater number of hands.
Cause or reason –
The reason is – that in the case where there is but one hand
and that hand known the cause of the danger of inaptitude on the part of the
work will thus be obviated by a security which in the
2. case of divers hands does not operate, if at all, with
such considerable force. The security is the territory quantum power
of the tribunal of public opinion.
