Excerpt from Letters to an Officer in the Army: Proposing Constitutional Reform in the Confederate Government After the Close of the Present War The teachers of the Common Law inculcate that the execution is the life of the law, an elementary truth which rests on the firmest founds tions. But if the execution is the life of the law - without which all legislation is only a nerveless body - the administration of the govern ment is as truly the life of the government. It is one of those active necessary functions upon which the existence, or at least the health and eżiciency of the government so entirely depends, that it is impossible to attach too high an importance to its proper organization. Indeed, every ofiicer charged with the execution of the laws, exercises, of necessity, some portion of judicial power, since it is necessary to interpret the meaning of laws before they can be carried into effect. It is possible, then, for the executive official to defeat or at least impair the policy of the legislature, or to give it full force. Sound theory, then, in a parliamentary government, (since with some it is important that political systems should be cast in conformity with metaphysical exactness,) or ratlmr its very purpose, requires the execu tive to be kept in relations of dependence onl the legislature. Where these constitutional connexions are established, a correspondence and concert of action is enforced, and that counteraction of parts avoided, which is so malignant in its effects in practical government. Thus one spirit, one design, animates the whole, so that what is determined in wisdom is executed with fidelity and vigor. But great and intense is the evil where an independent Executive wields the tremendous power of the veto and is invested with an extensive patronage, which is power in its most seductive and irresistible form. The Legislature, then, must in the end succumb. So much more potent in human affairs is action than deliberation. This is the moral of all history, and is one which considerate men will never forget.
