31 Jany 1809 Peines
If to the exercise of the power in each instance it
be sufficient that the single will of any one of them be
sufficient, the greater the number the more efficient the
aggregate mass of the power thus constituted, and the greater
the defalcation made by it from the effect of the general
disposition of the law.
Too high to be committed to any inferior officer in
the state. If byto the word inferior the signification meant here
to be given be comparative, the thing being the object
of comparison, be it so: if positive, which a signification
which though not according with the grammatical
form of the word, is a signification frequently in practice
given to it, the proposition is then a truism, and
is perfectly sosuch as to be an identical one, An officer
toin whom any such power was exclusively as well as
avowedly given confirmed, would th could not with any propriety
be termed an inferior officer: independently of any other
a power of this sort would be sufficient
to give place to the individual
in whom it were vested, a very superior power
a power but little removed if at all from the very highest in the state
I say exclusively and avowedly: for unavowedly,
as will presently under the present practice but too apparent, under the present practice
there is no assignable limit to the inferiority may serve them to the
number of the hands, by whose such of whose by himself this important a power
may be, and under the existing system of supposed exquisite and perfect policy, actually is exercised.
