[9] The following scheme of a Directory or Government is submitted to
the Shareholders for consideration:--
In order that the Executive may be conducted as a whole with promptness
and decision, and that the various individuals composing it may act
in unison, and be brought more readily under the control of the
shareholders, who stand on the same relation to the Executive as a
parliament does to the ministry, it is resolved that one individual,
elected by the shareholders, act as the head, choosing his assistants,
for whose official conduct he is responsible.
