§.2. Reasons for non-employment of non-adoption in the several cases.
I. First as to the case of a Monarch superadded to a Legislative
Assembly composed of members elected or supposed or pretended to be
elected by the great body of the people.
This case has already been considered: namely, under the
question — why bring into action the great body of the people in the
character of sharers in the supreme Constitutive power. A government
in which the whole or any part of the people in the
character supreme legislative or supreme Executive power is in
the hands of a single person has thus been shown to be altogether
incompatible with good government: to be in a state of
direct repugnance to the greatest happiness principle:
inconsistent with the pursuit of the greatest happiness
of the greatest number in the character of the end of
government.
