20, on the texture of the Constitutional branch of law
will depend that of every other. For on this branch of law depends
in all its branches the relative and appropriate aptitude,
of those functionaries, on whose will depends at all times the
texture of every other branch of law. If in the framing of
this branch of law, the greatest happiness of the greatest
number is taken for the end in view, and that object pursued
with corresponding success, so will it be, in the framing
of those other branches: if not, not.
21. IV Lastly as to Equality. In the instances of subsistence,
abundance and security, the title of the object, to
the appellation of an instrument of felicity, is stamped as it
were upon the face of it: designated by the very name, that so
in the case of Equality.
22. In the idea of equality, that of distribution is implied.
Distribution is either of benefits or of burthens: under
one or other of those names, may every possible subject matter
of the operation be comprized. Benefits are distributed by collation
made of the instruments of felicity: burthens by the
ablation of them, or by the imposition of positive hardship.
23. [ In proportion as equality is departed from inequality
has place; and in proportion as inequality has place, evil has
place. First as to inequality, in the case, where it is in the
collation, made of those same instruments, that it has place
In this case it is pregnant with two distinguishable evils. The
one may be stiled the domestic or civil; the other the national
or constitutional.
24. The domestic evil is — that which has place in so
far as the subject matter of the distribution is the matter of
wealth — matter of subsistence and abundance. It has place
in this way. The more remote from equality are the shared possessed by
