Interests identified

18. or 1. Difference in respect of this Salutary identification between the situation of the possession of the Constitutive power, where they are the people at large, and the situation of the possessors of the supreme operative power. In the former case, the identification is already accomplished: in the other, it remains to be accomplished: to be effected as nearly as possible.

19. or 2. Functionaries always the same: sole exceptions, changes made by birth │   │: death, emigration, cession active.

20. or 3. Thus are simplicity and efficiency maximized.

24. or 4. The thing here to be done accordingly is not taking a certain class and making their interest identical with universal do., but taking those whose interest is the universal do., and lodging the power in their hands.

22. or 5. In the case of the supreme operative power, those who are to be possessors of it, not being the do. of the constitutive power, their interests can not be identical: on points │   │ they can not but be opposite. To render them perfectly identical will scarce be possible. To render them as near to identical as possible, will require no small labour. No labour can be too great. To their power of making the sinister sacrifice, every limit should be applied that can be so without preponderant detriment to their power of accomplishing the only right and proper end.

This mode of subordination is do. by dislocability.

23. or 6. Course to be taken in this view.

1. Give to possessors of supreme operative power, power to do every thing imaginable, save as excepted by detrimental limitations explicitly applied to it Limitative 1. Subordination by dislocability to Constituents. Consequence and use. So far as, on Constituents' judgment, they pursue a course conducive to the right and proper end, they will be continued in place: whenever they pursue an opposite course, they will be dislocated. What the regulator is to the main spring, Constituents' power is thus to operatives.
