HSRP-692

Locke's Second Treatise §135 sets a limit on legislative power that does not depend on consent to its exercise: the power "can never have a right to destroy, enslave, or designedly to impoverish the subjects." The limit names three objects — destruction, enslavement, and designed impoverishment — and places them outside what a legislature may rightly do, whatever its form or the authority under which it acts.

2. The claim, in full

Locke's Second Treatise §135 sets a limit on legislative power that does not depend on consent to its exercise: the power "can never have a right to destroy, enslave, or designedly to impoverish the subjects." The limit names three objects — destruction, enslavement, and designed impoverishment — and places them outside what a legislature may rightly do, whatever its form or the authority under which it acts.

REGISTER-ONLY RECORD: this claim prints on no page, deliberately. It was created 2026-10-20 to close a prose-only citation, not to add anything to a page, and F02 should note its silence as correct, as it does for HSRP-617 and HSRP-623. (1) THE §135 QUOTATION PRINTED ON TWO PAGES BEFORE ANY OBSERVATION CARRIED IT: /evidence-of-the-breach at hallmark 11, "Money depreciated by announced policy", and /the-righteous-and-the-corrupt-sovereign at line 77. This record closes that prose-only citation; IT DOES NOT ADD A NEW SOURCE — SRC-225 already existed and was already verified. (2) THE FOOTNOTE ASTERISK IS ALREADY ON SRC-225's RECORD and is carried forward here rather than restated as a new finding: the host prints a footnote marker after "never", so the sentence reads "can never* have a right" in the text and "can never have a right" as quoted. (3) THIS RECORD MAKES NO FINDING about whether any present condition — monetary or otherwise — meets §135's "designedly to impoverish". That question is where HSRP-410 stands, in its clause "a design to subvert the constitutional order or to impoverish is not yet found, and it is not yet known whether it will be found". This record states the limit; it does not apply it. (4) WHY THIS RECORD EXISTS: SV35, the research pass that produced this pinpoint, reached the pages on 2026-10-03 and NEVER REACHED THE REGISTER. The pinpoint has been VERIFIED AT SOURCE BY CONTENT since that date and no graded claim carried it for seventeen days. ONE PRECISION ON THE CLAIM'S FIRST CLAUSE, recorded so the grade is defensible: "does not depend on consent to its exercise" rests on §135's opening and its transfer premise — the power "is not, nor can possibly be absolutely arbitrary over the lives and fortunes of the people", and the section grounds that in what no individual had to transfer — and not on the quoted sentence alone. Re-verified at source 2026-10-20 at the host SRC-225 names.

6. Why this grade

ESTABLISHED as a report of what the text states, at a pinpoint verified at source by content; the limit is stated in the text, and whether any particular measure or policy meets it is a separate question this record does not reach

The register defines ESTABLISHED as: Supported directly by primary texts or published findings.

7. Correction history

2026-10-20
Created to close a prose-only citation — SV35's §135 pinpoint reached /evidence-of-the-breach and /the-righteous-and-the-corrupt-sovereign on 2026-10-03 and never reached the register: the quotation printed on two pages while zero of 691 observations carried it. Created register-only so that no page is edited and no grade on any page moves. The quotation was re-verified at source before writing. Fields created: all.

Later entries that mention this observation: HSRP-693.
