Promulgation des Raisons. Forme. Loix.
-----
11. Serving as a
common standard,
by means of which
laws, of different
countries, on
the same matters,
may be compared.
12. Shaming men,
by the exemplifi-
-cation of the prin-
-ciples of common
sense, out of the
habit of referring
to the imaginary
Law of Nature: —
a mask for the
principles of caprice
and asceticism:
a perpetual
ource of false,
or rather nonsen-
sical, reasons.

13. Preserving
the Laws to which
they are annexed
from being rend='underline'>changed</hi>
without reason.
A good reason
is a Sheet-
Anchor to a Law
and the stronger,
the better the
reason, it the
law. —

- in with
a few more Rea-
-sons of your
own growth.

Reasons Place.
Reasons, -
- accompanying
the body of the
laws, ought to be
distinguished
from the text;
but to be all
along closely connected
with it, in the
form of a perpe-
-tual comment-
-ary.Reason-giving
Current Practice
1 How it happens
that the practice
of giving reasons
to the laws has
been so rare.
1. Extreme diffi-
-culty of the task.
To make laws,
requires nothing
but a will: to
give reasons
for them, requires
an understanding.
2. Total want of
a rational sys-
-tem of morals,
capable of serving
as a ground work
for a rational
system of legis-
-lation. —
