No existing form is perhaps compleatly and [...?] unmixt It may be considered as unmixt when the [...?] is not great enough to prevent the production of the distinguishable effects.

\PS\. Constitutional Law

Considered with reference to the allotment made of the powers of government, all forms are either pure /unmixt/ or mixt Of unmixt forms of government three sorts are commonly held in view distinguished from the number of the persons to whom those powers are allotted

A /An unmixt/ democracy is that form of government in which the whole aggregate composed of all the members of the community are considered as partaking /partakers/ in the powers of government.

An unmixt Aristocracy is the form of government in which an aggregate composed of /no more than/ a portion only of the members of the community, are considered as partaking in the power of government.

An unmixt Monarchy is the form of government in which one member of the community possesses of himself /has at his own comand/ all the powers of government.

Note

The adjunct commonly employed on this occasion is pure. It has two inconveniences. One is - that to the idea of thing /object/ which it is employed to designate it adds the idea of approbation as bestowed upon that object by the speaker: the other is that it does not so clearly bring to view as does the word unmixt the relation between the hing in question, and its oposite from which the thing in question is to be distinguished.
