Constitut. Code.

1.

Instruments of good and bad Rule: incorporeal felicity being the universal end, d o. and its opposite are not only the universal subject matter of all operations, but also the instruments or of operating towards that end. No otherwise than by means of pleasure and pain can sensitive beings be rendered productive of either.

2.

Differ, however, from the appellations employed in speaking of them as ends those employed in speaking of them as means.

3.

1. Force, intimidation, and remuneration — instruments of all rules thence of good rule.

4.

1. Force: viz. physical seat of it, body. Without this, then other instruments can not be brought into action.

For conduct of government, things are not less necessary to be operated upon than persons: only by physical force can things be directly operated on.

So as to persons: only by force can an obstinate intruder be removed out of a house, if neither intimidation nor remuneration prove effectual.

5.

2. Intimidation. This is force applied to mind. It is eventually efficient — cause of infelicity: evil so applied: punishment is the most prominent and extensive instance of its application: under Good Rule, punishment evil — pain-applied to a man in case of his failing to contribute in the manner indicated to the maximization of felicity.

6.

3. Remuneration. This is eventually efficient cause of felicity, good: applied to the purpose in question in consideration of a man's having contributed, or being engaged or expected to contribute to felicity in some shape and occasion indicated or not indicated.

7.

Distinction between external and internal instruments of felicity. See above or below.

7 (a).

1. Imperfection not furnishing a word for hope existing analogous to intimidation.

2. Practically useful source of instruction, analogy between punishment and reward.

7 (a) contin d.

3. To reward is to punish - superfluous remuneration is depredation: practical results these.

4. Hence, what men learn to apply to reward whatsoever frugality they apply to punishment.

8.

By good rule, intimidation and allurement are minimized: by mis- rule maximized.

9.

1. Intimidation minimized. Reason, it can not operate unless followed every now and then by punishment: producing sufferance: and itself it involves sufferance.

10.

2. Allurement affording prospect of remuneration minimized.

Reason. By Government good can not be procured but by means of evil rather of good and d o. of evil are a great extent the same thing. Witness power & wealth by ingress enjoyment produced: by egress lost and suffering substituted.

Constitut Code Rationale

Securities

Factitious honor

?.2 Expository matter

??.2 Its mode of operation

A few points relative to this product /Relative to this product of government, /Here/ a few points there are which/ call for explanation

1. It operates as an order for respect, for respect to be for token of respect to be afforded and as it were paid by persons in general to him on whom the honor is said to be conferred. It operates therefore as a title to respect. In this particular It is in regard to respect that which an order for the payment of money a draught for example on a banker - is in regard to money: but with this difference that it is only on /at the hands of/ that one individual /person/ that the order for money calls for money, whereas it is at the hands of all persons in general that the title of honor - the order for respect - calls for respect.

On the each occasion of each such act It is an exercise of dominion over the many, for indeed in some sort over all, for the benefit of the one - over the many, indeed in some sort /with little exception/ over all. The means not being coercive, it produces not that sense of oppression which in general dominion exercised by coercive means /employing as usual /it must do/ coercion for its instrument/ can not when exercised /directed/ towards so unjustifiable an end, fail to produce. It is by delusion that the effect is produced not by force or intimidation. But the effect of it being as will be seen purely mischievous, the circumstance of their being one evil in [...?] which is not produced by it, will not suffice for turning /to turn/ the whole mass of evil into good.
