Economy &cCh. False Securities for
Moral Aptitude
Chambers two or more
1.
False security, division
of Supreme operative
into two or more, say
two Chambers.
Q. The security why false?
A. Evil in divers assignable
shapes: good, in none.
Take two as the least possible.
2.
2. The Evils what?
A.1. Delay. 2. Complication
3.Expence. All uncompensated.
Delay and
complication inevitable:
expence not all inevitable,
but by custom rendered
probable.
3.
Q. Delay the evil, more
particular and immediately
sensible shapes
what?
A. By supposition, preponderantly
good the ultimately
adopted arrangements
taken in the aggregate;
else, no such
body ought to have place.
Alternatives.
1. Body but one, every
thing sayable will be
there said.
2. Bodies two, if nothing
sayable is left unsaid
in either, time occupied
in repetition useless:
if any thing in both or
either, judgment is partial,
being on incompleat
grounds.
---page break---
4.
Q. Complication the
evil, more particular and
sensible shapes what?
A. Opakeness: facility for
secret and successful operation
of sinister interest
opportunity of opposition
double. Forms of the two
chambers differ from each
other: the diversity becomes
the subject of an appropriate
branch of false
and needless science.
Those familiarized to it
by practice employ it in
creating mischievous obstructions
which the non-
familiarized are not prepared
to prevent or remove.
5.
Obscure to the initiated,
much more to the uninitiated
public at large,
members of public opinion
tribunal: thus is the efficiency
of that counter-
force lessened.
6.
Axiom 1. Whatever does no
good, does mischief — Complication
a jungle — sinister
interests, tygers lurking
in it.
Axiom 2. Only in so far
as known and understood
can arrangement
and... do good. In
so far as unknown or not
understood, evil is the result
be the arrangements &
ever so good.
7.
3. Expence, what a
A. In so far as by the members
of the second chamber
addition is made to those
of the first, and at public's
expence, compensation is
made to the functionary
so
---page break---
7 contind.
So much compensation,
so much expence: by custom
this expence, in how
great part so ever needless;
is by custom probabilized.
8.
From plurality of Chambers,
sample of the doubts
and difficulties.
1. Initiation to which or
both?
2. On the whole field, or only
as to some & what parts?
Hence need of demarcation
complication certain:
dissention and contest, amicable
or hostile, probable.
9.
Two Chambers being
assumed necessary, for
each a service must be
found, not rendered by the
other.
Contribution say for No.1
more superiority in moral
aptitude: for No.2 do.
in intellectual do. for securing
intellectual,
encreased maturity of age.
10.
Erroneous this presumption.
Only in so far as
moral aptitude is present,
is intellectual other than
mischievous. In mature
age, moral aptitude less
than in youth. In youth,
greater the excitation of
which sacrifice of universal
to immediate personal
interest is the result.
11.
As to intellectual aptitude,
useless & needless the security
supposed afforded by
age. Take any the least
probable age; say 21. Unless
the majority be under this
age, and thereby rendered comparatively
deficient in
wisdom, if some were not
half the age, no sensible
evil would result.

12.
Eminently improbable
is any considerable
number of adults located
by such bodies
only in proportion to
length of life are opportunities
of self-manifestation
abundant
This as to life at large,
particularly as to political
do.
13.
Dilemma against a 2d Chamber.
State of things, to
which, if to any, this
retardation is apt, is the
formation of a new
Constitution by unexperienced
men. but in
that state, demand for acceleration
is highest. The
Constitution settled, the longer
it has continued, the
greater the experience,
the less the danger of precipitation
thence the less
the demand for a retardative.
