A FRAGMENT ON GOVERNMENT; BEING An EXAMINATION of whit is delivered, On the Subject of GOVERNMENT in General In the INTRODUCTION to Sir William Blackstone's COMMENTARIES: by Jeremy Bentham WITH A PREFACE, IN WHICH IS GIVEN A CRITIQUE on THE WORK AT LARGE. MONTESQUIEU Espirit: des Lois, L. XXX. Ch. XV. LONDON: Printed for T. PAYNE, at the Mews-Gate; P. EMILY, opposite Southampton-Street in the Strand; and E. Brooks, in Boll-Yard, Temple-Bar. M.DCC.LXXVI. Preface The age we live in is a busy age; in which knowledge is rapidly advancing towards perfection. In the natural world, in particular, every thing teems with discovery and with improvement. The most distant and recondite regions of the earth traversed and explored the all-vivifying and subtle element of the air so recently analyzed and made known to striking evidences, were all others wanting, of this pleasing truth. Correspondent to discovery and improvement in the natural world, is reformation in the moral; if that which seems a common notion be, indeed, a true one, that in the moral world there no longer remains any matter for discovery. Perhaps, however, this may not be the case: perhaps among such observations as would be best calculated to serve as grounds for reformation, are some which, being observations of matters of fact hitherto either incompletely noticed, or not at all would, when produced, appear capable of bearing the name of discoveries: with so little method and precision have the consequences of this fundamental axiom

Jeremy Bentham "English utilitarian philosopher and social reformer. He first attained attention as a critic of the leading legal theorist in eighteenth century England, Sir William Blackstone. Bentham's campaign for social and political reforms in all areas, most notably the criminal law, had its theoretical basis in his utilitarianism , expounded in his Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation , a work written in 1780 but not published until 1789. In it he formulated the principle of utility , which approves of an action in so far as an action has an overall tendency to promote the greatest amount of happiness. Happiness is identified with pleasure and the absence of pain. To work out the overall tendency of an action, Bentham sketched a felicific ("happiness-making") calculus , which takes into account the intensity, duration, likelihood, extent, etc of pleasures and pains. In Bentham's theory, an action conforming to the principle of utility is right or at least not wrong; it ought to be done, or at least it is not the case that it ought not be done. But Bentham does not use the word ' duty ' here. For Bentham, rights and duties are legal notions, linked with the notions of command and sanction. What we call moral duties and rights would require a moral legislator (a divine being presumably) but theological notions are outside the scope of his theory. To talk of natural rights and duties suggests, as it were, a law without a legislator, and is nonsensical in the same way as talk of a son without a parent. Apart from theoretical considerations, Bentham also condemned the belief in natural rights on the grounds that it inspired violence and bloodshed, as seen in the excesses of the French Revolution.

Theory of Surveillance: The PANOPTICON The PANOPTICON was proposed as a model prison by Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), a Utilitarian philosopher and theorist of British legal reform. The Panopticon ("all-seeing") functioned as a round-the-clock surveillance machine. Its design ensured that no prisoner could ever see the 'inspector' who conducted surveillance from the privileged central location within the radial configuration.

Bentham was the leader of the so-called utilitarian school of ethics that held that the aim of legislation should be the "greatest happiness of the greatest number." He was the most notable law reformer the English-speaking world has ever produced; in this role, his influence extended not only to Britain and the United States but also to France, Spain, and Latin America. Several of the emerging republics of South and Central America consulted him in drawing up their constitutions and law codes. In the Hispanic world, he was hailed as "el legislador del mundo."

He entered the University of Oxford at 12, studied law, and was admitted to the bar; however, he did not practice. Instead he worked on a thorough reform of the legal system and on a general theory of law and morality, publishing short works on aspects of his thought. In 1789 he became well known for his Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation.

The essence of his moral philosophy is found in Principles of Morals and Legislation Although ridiculed for his imprecision, Bentham defended the felicific calculus by stating that it was a working hypothesis, not a mechanical procedure. He intended it to take the place of the doctrine of natural rights, which held that individuals had certain absolute moral claims.
