Constitut Code Rationale

Supreme Operative

I. Monarch

Conclusion

In no instance at no time has any attempt been made to shew that by the substitution or by the addition made of the office of Monarch to the Office of member of a body of Delegates chosen by the great body of the people any addition has been made or can be made to the greatest happiness of the greatest number In no instance can any such attempt have ever been taken into consideration but the utter impossibility of success must immediately have manifested itself.

In no instance has the attachment to any such form of government been placed upon any firmer or better ground than that of blind prejudice: in no instance will it ever be endeavoured to be placed upon any other than that ground.

In corruption and delusion in the united efficacy /conjunct force/ of these two instruments of evil has at all times been and at all times will be the only trust.
