In one case only has /In /only/ one form only of government does/ the government for its tendency the production of the greatest happiness of the greatest number. This is where all those by whom the operative powers of government are exercised are immediately or unimmediately placed and at short intervals displaceable by the /that/ greatest number.

Where there is no one person /functionary/ who is not immediately or unimmediately and without other formality than that of an ordinary election displaceable by the greatest number as well as placed after having been placed by a section of that number there is no person who is in a condition to prosecute with effect his own particular and sinister interest at the expence of the interest of the greatest number.

Where there exists any one person /functionary/ who is not in the ordinary way of election displaceable immediately or unimmediately by the greatest number, he at the same time having at his disposal the objects of general desire to an amount more or less considerable this person is thereby in a condition to prosecute with effect his own sinister interest at the expence of the interest of the greatest number at the expence of the universal interest.

In the case /instance/ of every government that has an irremovable chief is /such is the condition of/ that same irremoveable Chief.

A /Every/ government which amongst its functionaries numbers an irremovable chief is a Monarchy: if amongst the other functionaries there is not any one who is not at all times displaceable by this one, the Monarchy is a pure Monarchy: if there be any one or more functionaries who are not thus displaceable, a mixt monarchy.
