Objection Intellectuals deficient

or 1. Objection to all subjects supreme Constituents - inaptitude as to intellectual aptitude

In appropriate knowledge, thence in do. judgment, the majority are unapt, each of them, to the function of contributing to the location and dislocation of a trustee, for the taking charge of this part of his interest.

or 2. Answer 1. Inapplicable this objection, until other hands more apt be assigned: viz in intellectual aptitude Superior, and in moral do. either superior, or else so inferior but that the deficiency is made up for by the superiority in intellectual.

N.B. Active do. belongs not to the case: there being no room for it in the function of electing Constituent.

or 3. 2. Case 1. The power in a single hand. Moral aptitude a minimum.

Monarch's interest to accumulate in his own hands all means of felicity.

Practice every where accordant. So says all history.

or 4. Case 2. Power in a few hands. Interest the same Practice accordant.

or 5. Case 3. Power in the joint hands of Monarch and Aristocrats.

Intellectual aptitude here less than under aristocrats alone.

or 6. Case 4. Power in joint hands of Monarch, Aristocrats, and People's Delegates.

Difference here not great. 1. Interests being the same in moral aptitude not much difference. Intellectual greater than even in Case 2. But employed almost exclusively in the maximizing the instruments of felicity in the hands of the 3 partners: thence in minimizing people's share.

or 7. In people, moral aptitude always at a maximum: in Monarch, at a minimum.

or 8. In people, intellectual aptitude constantly encreasing, with and even without endeavour of supreme operatives.

or 9. Of Monarch, constant endeavour to minimize people's intellectual aptitude, or divert it to other subjects, conveying instruction either mischievous or at best useless: to true, to substitute false, fallacious, and mischievous conceptions: in particular that a Monarch is the maximum of moral aptitude. So that in ruling few, aptitude is as altitude in conjunct scales of powerfulness, opulence, and factitious dignity.

or 10. Objection 2.

In the people, time for acquisition of appropriate intellectual aptitude necessarily deficient. Without do. aptitude in Elector, no apt judgment can be formed by him as to do. in Candidate.

or 11. Answer 1. Inapplicable as before this objection unless in other determinate hands greater aggregate applied, is shown to have place.

Here applies the distinction between aptitude self-seated, or say indiginous: and aptitude │   │ or say thro'

advice. This is in every man's reach. By an all-comprehensive and rationalized Code, even indiginous aptitude wd., in all readers, be maximized.

Thus the standing groundwork, events of the day as per newspapers the continually inflowing.

Thenceforward, least knowing man's knowledge greater than most knowing man's do. before.
