This facility of making new dispositions of property
without thwarting expectation we see it exercised by
legislative authority in a thousand instances and
that without any inconvenience. To put the strongest
instance; viz: that of a life annuity required by the
father of a family who has children. Were he to
take it in the way of ordinary succession his children
would expect to enjoy it after his death as he
enjoy'd it after the death of his predecessors. But
by the very this contract in virtue of which he enjoys it (which
contract by being adopted by the legislature or judicial
authority has become a kind of particular law of
state) the formation of all such expectations has been
prevented stopped in their very source. The father knows
his children are not to have it after him: the children
know they are not to have it: he and they, if they
have common prudence make provision and
regulate their plan of life accordingly; and when
the father drops, as pain of disappointment flows
to the children from this source.
