§. Corruptive influence
Persons operated on
125 23.
Thus King, Lords,
and Commons
together, every act of
power exercised on
the people by men
whose interest is, in
almost all things,
point-blank opposed
to them.

Of these, together, with
functionaries of the
Executive, including
Administrative and
Judicial, are composed
the ruling few.
127 25.
In a mixt Monarchy,
of functionaries
considered as trustees
for the people, sole use
operating as a check
on Monarch. People
the only party to whose
prejudice, in this case,
breach of trust can
operate.
128 26.
In a pure Monarchy,
no such trustees:
therefore no such
breach of trust.
129. 27.
By persons other than
the Monarch, yes:
not by him can they
be corrupted
from being
his, no need he of
an instrument so
willy costly, and comparatively
precarious, as
corruptive influence.

In possession, a source
of enjoyment: in
expectancy, an object
of desire: so, if no
possession, the desire of
retaining, coupled with
the fear of losing, acts
still more strongly
than when it is in
expectancy only.
