As the king could not be pumshed, without a civil war, the constitution exempts his person from trial or account; but, lest this impunity should encourage a licentious exercise of dominion, various obstacles are opposed to the private will of the sovereign, when directed to illegal objects. The pleasure of the crown must be announced with certain solemnities, and attested by cer- tain officers of state. In some cases, the royal order must be signified by a secretary of state ; in others it must... pass under the privy seal : and, in many, under the great seal. And when the king's command is regularly published, no mischief can be achieved by it, without the ministry and compliance of those to whom it is directed. Now all who either concur in an illegal order by authenticating its pub- lication with their seai or subscription, or who in any manner assist in carrying it into execution, subject them- selves to prosecution and punishment, for the part they have taken ; and arc not permitted to plead or produce the command of the king in justification of their obedi- ence.* But farther : the power of the crown to direct the militaiy force of the kingdom, is balanced by the annual * Amongst the checks which parliament holds over the admi - nistration of public affairs, I forbear to mention the practice of addressing the king, to know by whose advice he resolved upon a particular measure, and of punishing the authors of that advice, for the counsel they had given.
