Result within power, power and will < > it has place The power here is power of maximizing happiness - On the part of the rulers in question this power depends, partly in others viz. the subjects, partly in themselves: what depends on others is power < >: this they have by supposition what depends on themselves (in the state of their faculties) is power ab intra: this is personal ability. In appropriate probity then you have the will: in personal ability the power - 9 Q 9 - These elements possessed in perfection by the rulers, the end is there accomplished? A. Yes - by the supposition such is the import of the terms. In the individual government in question in the < > of that< > you have the adequate cause: in the accomplishment of that depends < > the desired effect - 10 Q.10.

Title: [13 Jan 1817 Necessity Cat 1]Description: 13 Jan 1817 Necessity Cat 1 Theory §.4. Probity how securable 1 §. Appropriate official probity - how […?] effectually to securable possession of it on the part /in the breast/ of Office bearing in official hands. Q. 1. Let us go back a little and report progress /and see what we have done/. 1 The leading question was what in a political state or community is the proper end of government: the short answer was maximization of the happiness of all its members. This was a theorem. 2 The next was a problem. By what means secure the accomplishment of that end /object/. A short answer to the question, short answer to the problem by the maximization of appropriate official aptitude on the part of such of its members as have the supreme power in their hands. 3. {The} third question {was} In what are /endowments shall/ the elements of his aptitude be found. Short answer appropriate probity, appropriate intellectual aptitude, appropriate active talent. 4. 5. 6. Three next questions what are we respectively to understand by the three endowments thus expressed: to each of them an answer has been found. But of the inquiry there carried on what is the practical object? It is to determine among all the several forms of government actual and conceivable what is the best i.e. what in its nature the most highly conducive to that end, and for the solution of that question the principal modifications of which the powers of government have appeared /presented themselves as being/ susceptible have necessarily passed under review. A conception of the /these/ several elements of appropriate official aptitude being thus obtained, now come so many problems, by means of the form of government how most effectually to secure for the benefit of all the Members on the part of the ruling members the possession of these several endowments? and the first upon the list is that of appropriate probity.

Title: [[Marginal summary sheet[?]] [Mainly]Description: [Marginal summary sheet[?]] [Mainly in copyist’s hand] 16 Jan y 1817 Necessity Cat. 1 Theory §.5. Active talent and intellectual aptitude Explanations §. 5. Active talent and intellectual aptitude. 1 Q 1 - In regard to probity, question how most effectually securable. This question not unapplied to the other element, because it will presently be applied to them in < > the different forms of government - < > in observing powers to be of present use in two of these forms, viz Monarchy & democracy active talent may be altogether absent: and yet the business go on. A - Yes - 2 Q 2 - How can this be An endowment security so effectual : how can it be dispensed with? A. - In the power of deputation you have seen a cause adequate to the production of this effect. In proportion as self-acting power finds a substitute in this, the demand for active talent on the part of the deputation ceases. I In this case of a Monarchy By means of this deputation power for example in the Formal Monarchy supreme power used to be exercised by children of 14 years old - So in any Monarchy by an < > person so long as his melody can be concealed - §.5. Active talent and intellectual aptitude. 3 Q 3 - II. How in the case of a democracy - A. Then the supreme power is in the great body of the people - But as we have seen already, not only in this case may it be exercised by deputation but in a democracy large enough for self support it can not be exercised otherwise it can not be exercised by self regarding. When in quality of Electors the people have declared who should act for them, they have exercised all the power they are capable of exercising unless censorial influence as above be considered as power - 4 Q. 4 - Now there is not the enquiry < > for considering in what proportions the several elements of aptitude are possessible by the several forms of Government? - A - Yes -
