Ch. XII. Judiciary Collections §. 14 and Rationale (3 as to § 12. 13. 14 16. 17. 18.:

In these three sections, completion is to a design, commenced in Ch. V. §. 10, continued in Ch. VI. §. and further continued in Ch. XI. §. 2. Objects embraced by it are the following.

1. Preserving for ever from deterioration whatever symmetry comes to have been established, in this and the other several codes of the Pannomion.

2. Minimizing and indefinitely retarding the need of consolidation laws: remedies, which, how necessary soever, can never be applied without difficulty & inconvenience.

3. Preserving the Pannomion from being enveloped in, and obscured by, masses of extraneous matter, in the shape of Reports of Judiciary decrees & proceedings, & dissertations grounded on them, adding to the indispensable burthen composed of real law, this excrementitious matter, to the ever increasing bulk of which, there can not otherwise be any end.

4. Maximizing the facility of it's melioration from all imaginable sources.

5. Disarming Judges of the arbitrary power of frustration and alteration under the name of interpretation: disarming them of the power, by divesting them altogether, and for ever, of the pretence. Hitherto, in all places and at all times, has this power been exercised: and, in the effects of the exercise given to it a mixture of good with the evil being frequently to be found, and the good the most prominent of the two. -- never, without unanswerable objections, could it be either condemned or justified. By the here proposed means, now for the first time, the evil may be effectually excluded, nipt in the bud, and the good left pure. Under the existing system, scarce can imagination suggest the improper liberty, which a Judge will not take with the declared will of a legislature: under the here proposed system, none will any Judge ever dare to take: for, the sources of excuse elsewhere so abundant will here be altogether wanting.

    (a) [Constitutional Code]

    Of the whole Pannomion, the first in the order of importance, thence in the order of appearance, is this Code: in the order of importance, because on the end herein declared, as per S.3., and the means here employed in the first instance for the attainment of it will depend the several correspondent sets of means employed in all the several other Codes. Pannomion means in Greek the whole body of the laws.

    Three objections may here be liable to present themselves.

    1. "In this way, the legislative and judicial powers "are confounded: united in one and the same set of "hands; and, of the Legislative power itself, the two elementary "powers, the initiative and the consummative.

    2. "The legislative power, thus given to the "members of the judiciary, extends over the whole field "of legislation: no limits are or can be set to it."

    3. "By the eventually-emendative and sistitive functions "together, the preinterpretive is rendered useless."

    In all these instances, an apparent, in no one of them anyreal, incongruity will be found.

    1. As to the initiative function here given to judges, it is no other than that which is given, not only to those same functionaries, but to every inhabitant of the state, and every inhabitant of the state: given, and without any the smallest risk or inconvenience: for, with the exercise, given to the power by the making of the proposal, the power ceases: no further power has the man, whoever he be, for the support of it. In the case of the judge, true it is that the mere inaction of the Legislature suffices for giving to his proposal the effect of law: in appropriate language, for adding to his initiation, the consummative. But neither can the judge, and more than any foreigner, contribute any thing to the adoption of what he has thus proposed: and besides the two judiciary authorities superordinate to his own, any two members when the proposal comes before the Legislature, which is what it can not fail to do — any two members, each at the expence of no more than a few words suffice for defeating the proposal altogether.
