Note (c) concluded. - will not be lessened, if by means of the defalention
made from the subject matter of probability of retaining what remains
of it be not lessened. By any such defaleation made from the
subject matter of security taken in the aggregate, so far is security itself
from being necessarily lessened, that without such defaleation it could
not have existence. Witnesstaxation: without which no where could
the business of government be carried on: no where could security against
adversaries of any elass have place: no where could security against
calamity in any shape be afforded by Government.
Note (d) [calamity] The giving execution and effect to precautionary
arrangements taken with a view to calamity, belongs to one branch of
that part of the business of the Executive department which in the
ensuing Codex is the Preventive Service: the giving the like support
to such precautionary arrangements as are taken with a view to
hostility at the hands of the unofficial and resistible class of adversaries
belong to the other branch of that same service.
