The The Posterity-charmer's device or fallacy consists in the finding some
part in some existing law or engagement a pretense
for refusing to administer an effectual the necessary
remedy to the any abuse or other imperfection that has been
pointed out: and it assumes the ground on which
it argues is the assumption assuming that the legislature or
sovereign power of any past time that at all
times and on all occasions or at any rate that
on some occasions the legislators or sovereign power of the country acting at any given
point of time ought to be considered as having it
in his power [+]
[+] in regard to any
part of parts of the
field of legislation
at his choice
to debar the legislature legislator of all future in all future time
times or at least for some length of time time to come from the
exercise of his power: and that, at each any given future point
of time, a prohibition to any such effect having been
declared, the legislator sovereign of that time ought to consider it
as binding on him, and himself proportionally divested of his such power
and that in the event of his attempting so to exercise the power
and that of which he has been thus divested the subjects of such subsequent sovereign
ought to refuse to him their obedience, taking for
the rule of their action the will of the dead legislator departed sovereign
in preference and opposition to that of the living one
adhering to the dead man or set of men in opposition
to the living ones. to those that are in existence.
