Constitut Law Rationale

Supreme Operative

II Monarch Limited

II. Inaptitude in /attached to/ the situation of Monarch in a Mixt or say Limited Monarchy the power having for its instrument of limitation the power of a body acting as a Representation of the people.

1. Inaptitude opposite to Moral aptitude

In this situation compared with the forementioned the causes of enmity are more active: of resistance the appearances /symptoms/ are continually obtruding themselves on observation. Though on every occasion the office is out of hazard on every occasion a contest with circumstances of irritation has place

To moral inaptitude in the shape of cruelty is in this situation necessarily added, immorality in the shape of insincerity and deception. The Representation of the people is a state of corruption - the people themselves are in a state of delusion If the Representation were not in this state of corruption, no such Office as the Kingly Office could continue. If the people in a vast proportion were not in a state of delusion no such Office as is the Kingly Office could continue.

Of that portion of the mass of the external instruments of felicity which otherwise might be and in the situation of absolute Monarch would be employed by him in the endeavour how vain so ever to make an ulterior addition to his own felicity a portion more or less considerable must be employed in the keeping in a state of perpetual corruption, and perpetual subserviency to his sinister interest the representatives /Delegates/, real or pretended of the people, in securing on their part a constant breach of such their trust. In the majority these men the people in so far as they see clearly behold their determined and implacable enemies /their enemies/: subordinate depredators who concurr with /under the orders of/ the supreme depredator, and before all things occupied with him - in the work of /exercise of/ depredation at their charge. In the eyes of the Monarch they are at the same time his enemies: partly because because the quantity of the matter of depredation seized by them is never adequate to his desires, partly on account of the vast share which he finds himself under the necessity of parting with for their /abandoning to their/ use, in consideration of that part which in fulfilment of the sinister contract, it is necessary should be performed on their part or his will could not be done.
