.4. AUBLANC, Secretary of State for
...(cuur, said, he had 'o present the Projet of a
L,w tor the sesta 'Lion of the Electoral Power, ac-
cording to the. Ct.arter, of which the 37th article
Toe Chambei of Deputies ate to be com-
posed of Deptitict elected by the Electoral Colkges,
the orgai.saitiou of which shall be determined by a
law:" The 37th article runs thus...." The Deputes
shall isi elected for fife years, so that the Chamber
shall 14 renewed each year by a fifth." Some per-
ions thoitent that the Deputies thus elected for five
feast should exercise their fiinctiOns f. 4. five years.
Btit in this case some Deputies would remain in of-
fice nine Year.% others eight, The literal sense of
the Charter dint; would 'hot be etecutecl—;-a new law
is thermore necessary. On *hit piintiplet shall it
be established ? •
a In a MonaiChiCal bovernriterit, btery poet
ought to be subordinate and- depenJect. Such is the
ptinciple laid down by Montesquieu, whose work has
acelaired Mil greater ltirce by the experience afftzded
by the Revolution. The electoral poweq, of which
the cositequenees would be the most dangerotis, is
that aver which the Sdvereign should exercise the
get atest ilifluence:
66 Several reliant have beets presented. There were
it first propcised three degreethe Primary Assem-
blies, the Colleges of the District, and the Colleges
of the Department.
The mode of the Primary Assemblies is essen-
tially. vicious. There must be one of these two
things ; either all the citizens assemble it it; and
then they are turmilthons ; or the citizens vote sepa-
rately: 13ut iii the latter case the vote, as has been
lately witnessed, was almost always dictated and
commanded by the,Officers of the Buieaux.
• 66 The name and talents of the author of another
System, adMitung only one degree, demands an at-
tentive examination. That the Colleges of the dis-
trict, iotturd by eititehs paying 3(X) francs tales,
should nominate the Deputies directly.' This sys!eni,
attractive by its ettreme simplicity, is inadmissible.
We hate already found that 364 Colleges Of Dis-
erlets, holding the electoral power in their hands,
'Amid not be sufficiently under the influence of the
supreme power. '1 he great number of Presidents
whom it sitould be necessary io assign to these assem-
blics, would not have the influence which the Prcti-
dents of the Elect..l4l Coiltg-s should have.
66 Moreover, a eel y r icli and populous depnronent,
having only two districts, would consequently have
but two Depu. it s, stole departniefoiless rich, having
6ve districts, x. uld ! ave five Deputies;
