    Altogether different is the plan that for the accomplishment of that same end

    requires to be pursued on /on the occasion of/ the location of the supreme

    operative power: on the occasion of the quantity and quality of the powers with

    which those individuals shall be invested in whose hands the exercise of

    whatsoever operative power shall come to be placed in those hands the

    designation of which shall have been effected by those in whose hands the

    supreme constitutive power resides /is located or rather remains located/. For

    the accomplishment of the universal end in the case of the possessors of the

    supreme constitutive power the provision made can not be well adapted, otherwise

    than in so far as facility is left or given to each individual to make what in

    his eyes is the best provision possible for his own individual interest in the

    case of the possessors of the supreme operative power, unless in so far as the

    utmost difficulty is opposed to his endeavours to make what is in his eyes is

    the best provision possible for his own individual interest, to the detriment of

    the interest of the other individuals of that same community that is to say in

    so far as mutual incompatability and competition have place, making provision

    for his own interests to the detriment of theirs In the first case the power

    left in or brought into existence needs no limits: no limits that could be

    applied to it could have any tendency to secure to the exercise given to it the

    most perfect conduciveness to its end: in the other case it requires to be

    applied to it the strictest limits which in any direction can be applied to it,

    consistently with its retaining amplitude sufficient for its giving

    accomplishment to that same end.

    So far then as regards the supreme Constitutive power, that which the legislator

    has to do is - not the taking men by selection and rendering or even to render

    /place/ the aggregate of their individual interests in a state of identification

    with relation to the universal interest, but the taking at once those /that

    class of individuals/ the aggregate of whose interests constitutes the universal

    interest - the taking those individuals belonging to this all comprehensive

    groupe[?], and lodging the power in their hands.
