Capitolo 6
produces a tolerable degree of national comfort and development for a
season; while a Constitution perfect in his/her theories and principles,
both so maladministered as to contaminate and to distract, impoverishes and

the Republic only till now as to assure from him their his/her own fame and
emolument. It was as many mediators or dealers to do and to administer ours
laws, without respect to the other industrial affairs we should have a
oligarchy of work. It was as many agriculturists or the mechanics or lawyers, to
