However, it won't cost that much. The only a priori intuition is that of the pure form of phenomena- space and time. Negation is that the conception of which represents a not-being (in time). It is therefore contained immediately in the intuition and representation of time. Should it here be pretended, that the view of convenience may be the source of all the right of succession, and that men gladly take advantage of any rule, by which they can fix the successor of their late sovereign, and prevent that anarchy and confusion, which attends all new elections? To this I would answer, that I readily allow, that this motive may contribute something to the effect; but at the same time I assert, that without another principle, it is impossible such a motive should take place. But places always presuppose intuitions which are to limit or determine them; and we cannot conceive either space or time composed of constituent parts which are given before space or time. On the other hand, it is sometimes employed to indicate that a thing is valid in all respects--for example, absolute sovereignty.
