Summary

Corruptive influence

BB Self preference in private life checked by sympathy, in public not unless by Democracy.

The predominance of self-regarding interest over all social interest being thus necessary to the very existence of the species while the existence of others is necessary to the existence of each, hence arise the two opposite phaenomena /states of things/

Every man /human being/ is the natural friend /enemy/ of every other

Every human being is the natural enemy /friend/ of every other

Every human being has in every other a natural friend /enemy/

Every human being has in every other a natural enemy /friend/

In private life by the sympathies which are among the causes and effects of natural relationship /affinity/, and by those others which are formed even between stranger and stranger by mutual wants and desires the amity is strengthened the enmity weakened.

In public life, there is but one form of government by which any permanent strength can be given to the amity any permanent and effectual /considerable/ softening to the enmity: but one form of government, and that is a pure representative democracy, that invention which is worth all others put together: the product of a happy mixture of prudence, benevolence and good fortune in these latter times.

In a pure monarchy all other interests are of course sacrificed to the interest real or supposed /fancied/ of the ruling one. The governed have in their governor /subject many behold and feel in their governor/ in chief an irresistible and implacable enemy in their governor in chief an enemy irresistible and implacable: and it is at the disposal of their enemy that every thing that is dear to them is for ever placed

    In every government, with only the above mentioned exeption the ruling few with the assistance of portion more or less considerable of such of the influential few as are not of the number of the ruling few, are, ever have been, and ever will be continually occupied in the making of the sinister sacrifice.

    With the exception of a headless Aristocracy, the examples of which past and present are too few in number and extent, and at the same time too incapable of encrease to present on the present occasion a demand for any further notice, all /every/ governments that is, has been, or ever will be are either pure Monarchy, a mixt Monarchy or pure Representative Democracy.

    1. In a pure Represenatative Democracy the sinister sacrifice is to any considerable extent, manifestly impracticable: it is therefore never endeavoured to be made

    In a pure Monarchy the sinister sacrifice is already consummated.

    In a Mixt Monarchy, it is made by degrees by a junction /the joint [...?]/ between the Monarch and the Representatives of the people. Like the human body It contains in it the seeds of its own [...?], and sooner or later that [...?] is virtue and [...?] According to the mutual disposition of these two antagonizing powers /forces/ with relation to one another. As these two powers have a conjunct sinister interest, so has each of them a separate sinister interest. According as the one or the other prevails, they will at each moment of time be in a state of conflict or of amity. At a time of /In case of/ continued conflict the representati of the people, if they have the people on their side will rid themselves of the Monarch. If they continue in a state of [...?] they will go, making [?] on each occasion the sinister sacrifice, till at length the system of oppression and depredation being given institution, the people will rid themselves of both together and on the ruin of the Monarchic Aristocratical tyranny set up a pure democracy

    Summary

    Corruptive influence

    In a pure aristocracy all other interests are of course sacrificed to the interest, real or supposed /fancied/ of the ruling few. In these their rulers /the confederated knot/ the subject many behold so many enemies and those enemies equally /alike/ irresistible and implacable: and it is at the joint disposal of those enemies that every thing dear to them is placed.

    Under a favorable state of things, under such a government the subject many are not absolutely out of all possibility of experiencing some mitigation to their sufferings. This favorable state of things is no other than a disagreement among the members of the confederacy /many-headed despot/. In such a contest If the parties are to such a /a certain/ degree balanced, it may happen to the weakest rather than yield to its overbearing-rival, to make advances to the subject many, in the hope of engaging them on its side.

    In a government /community/ in which the power is in one proportion or another divided between a Monarch and an Aristocracy the state of interests and thence of government may be inferred from what has just been mentioned. Nothing but a disagreement either between the Monarch and the whole Aristocracy on the one part, or a Monarch with a part /portion/ of the Aristocracy on the one part and the remainder /another portion/ of the Aristocracy on the other can produce any mitigation in the condition /suffering/ of the subject many.
