1. Power of discharge
given to a superordinate
and exercised gratuitously,
or for a price
certain or uncertain.
21. or 2.
Art. or 2. Conditions
applicable, if the result

in any way on the
individual's pleasure.
1. The liberty confined to
peace.
2. If allowed in war, a
certain length of notice
rendered necessary.
22. or 3.
Art or 3. II. Officers.
Here, too, such the
desireableness of the service,
scarcely is any difficulty
in quitting it ever
experienced.
23 or 4.
Art. or 4. On diminution

whether, instead of
disbanding in bodies, the

---page break---
Ch. X. Defensive Force.
§. 2. Leading Principles.
§. 3. Army Minister
23. or 4 contind.
Reasons for
1. Individual hardship
diminished.
2. Getting rid of those
rendered less apt by
discontent: keeping none
but those whose aptitude
was increased by
contentment.
24. or 5.
Reasons contra —
Of knowledge in the
situation no evidence
of which the probative
force would be as the
number quitting to the
number staying: thence
so the reluctance in
others to enlist.
25. or 6.
Art. or 6. Mode of
eliminating by lot none
but those desirous, yet
without giving publicity
to the unwelcome
state of things.
1. To every individual

of voting cards — one
expressing desire to
continue; the other, desire
to quit.
2. Boxes contiguous, two
into each, each individual
in the corps
drops his vote card thro'
a slit.
3. By all it is seen that
he drops one of his vote
cards in each: by no
one is it seen which.

6. In each pair of cards,
formed as per Election
Code, §. ___ voter's name

containing the names
of those desirous of
discharge, the numbers
are drawn in
secret by an undiscerning
hand.
Of the corresponding
voting tickets, the seals
are then broken, and
the individuals
declared discharged.
8. Discharged, they will
having nothing to fear
from resentment of
quondam superordinates.
9. The others are
publickly burnt unopened.
26. or 7.
Art or 7. On a similar
principle, if more
desired to stay than
it were desired to
keep, those who shall
be obliged to quit
will be determined
by lot.
27. or 8.
Art. or 8. Of this proportion,
between the number
of those desirous
of quitting and do. of those
desirous of staying, the
knowledge might for a
time be confined to
any number of particular
functionaries for
instance — Prime Minister,
Army Minister, Navy
Minister and Finance Minister.
