    At the first step we had an operative power acting in subordination and in the strictest possible subordination, for such it was necessary it should be or the end in view could not be accomplished © in the strictest possible subordination to the constitutive power. At the second step as above we have now a detached hand or set of hands to which by the operative power a portion of its functions is committed: on the part /conduct/ of which delegate or delegates of the second order the strictest subordination as towards the will of its immediate principal and thereby towards the will of the original principal is for the like reason indispensable. The portion of power thus detached from the operative power call it the Executive. But while by the operative power a certain portion of its functions is thus detached and committed to a delegate or set of delegates of its own appointment, at the same time whatsoever is not thus detached from it is of course reserved by it reserved to be exercised by itself The portion of operative thus detached being termed the Executive power call the portion thus reserved the Legislative power. Here then we have the division of the whole mass of operative power in the community into two portions: in the supreme Operative power, ordinarily in use to be designated by the denomination /appellation/ of legislative power or supreme legislative power; and the Executive power. As the /this/ supreme legislative power though with reference to any other power in the state supreme is with reference to the Constitutive power no other than subordinate, so the power just now termed Executive howsoever supreme with reference to any power which there may be occasion to detach from it is with reference to the power stiled supreme legislative in a state of correspondent subordination: at any rate it ought to be, that is to say /namely/ for the same reasons.

    The case in which alone it has place is that in which by delegates of theirs in quality of /the character of their/ representatives having in the right as representatives of the people a share in the supreme operative power they in this way exercise with relation to that mass of supreme operative power, the correspondent constitutive power. These possessors of supreme operative power may be either sole possessors of it or sharers in it in conjunction with some other functionary or functionaries. In the case of an ordinary mixt Monarchy supposing that in so far as in the mixture Democracy is included one person /a functionary/ with whom they share it is the Monarch

    In no form of government ? to this bad purpose any more than to any good one can profit in any shape be conveyed for a continuance into individual hands otherwise than through the intervention of an /a Supreme/ Executive, doing or professing to do the will of the Supreme Legislators. When in the highest sphere of government, for the purpose of the sinister sacrifice, the game of corruption is carried on, it is by the hands of the Chief of the Executive Department. In a Monarchy he is the Monarch /Chief of the State to whom this subordinate Office also belongs in addition to whatsoever share it happens to him to possess in the supreme operative, commonly stiled the legislative./ in a representative democracy he is also the Chief of the State by whatsoever appellative distinguished whether it be /such as/ President, Supreme Director, Protector or any other

    In either of these cases there exists a functionary, by who to this purpose without his being recognized, not the less effectually is exercised a function which may be termed that of Corrupter General. For in him /his hands, as will be seen/ from the very necessity of the case is /must be/ the disposal of a multitude of offices: in a greater or less degree these offices can not but be in the eyes of the members of the community be in an indefinite multitude, objects of general desire. Here then we have a functionary acting /operating/ whether he will or no in the character of Corrupter General: and on the other part persons in indefinite number functionaries of all sorts included occupying the situation of persons exposed to corruption, exposed to the being his corruptees.
