Ch. VI. Legislative
§. Relocable, who
Ch identified
Non-reeligibility
1.
1. Means of identification,
non-reeligibility
of Supreme operatives.
reason 1.
1. Subservience to
moral aptitude.
Subject, all his life long
Ruler say one year
only. Improbable,
that, for such short
lived power, a man
should barter perpetual
security.
2.
Objection 1. Insufficiency
In Assembly No. 1. In
that one year may
be obtained by each
member, situations
unlimited in value
for his connections.
So in Assembly No. 2.
Thus may be formed
an Aristocracy composed
of the members
of the several successive
assemblies.
Notwithstanding
exclusions, the particular
and sinister
interest will remain.
-----
3.
Objection 2. Inconsistency
with elector's
supposed aptitude.
By supposition they
are apt to choose a
representative
antecedently to their
experience of him:
much more after
such experience.
---page break---
3 contind.
In Assembly No. 1,
suppose sinister influence
of aristocratical
interest observed in a
member: to Assembly
No. 2 he will not be
returned.
Evidence not sufficient
for punishment
may be quite sufficient
for non-reelection.
-----
4.
Objection 3. Detriment
to intellectual aptitude.
The younger the state,
the greater the demand
for appropriate
experience and the scantier
the supply.
Thus to narrow the
supply, can it fail
to be detrimental?
5.
Answer 1. Objection 3
1. Utility of intellectual
aptitude — thence its
contributoriness to aggregate
aptitude, depends
upon moral aptitude.
Suppose disposition
towards the sinister
sacrifice, the greater the
intellectual aptitude, the
more likely will such
disposition be to be
productive of corresponding
acts & effects.
