continuing from the preceding post
If we assume intending to avoid stating actuality in the part before the second comma, without the first comma, "being", which is needed to avoid continuity, seems to make that part less fit for the purpose. So we can say that we are doing the best we can. On the other hand, if you want to state an always true fact why would you choose to trap yourself in "being" to begin with?
Instead of taking the first comma as being intended to bring "being necessary to the security of a free State" as a fact, one can take the purpose as intending to bring that as a whole situation. Actually this is what follows directly from the role of the first comma here. It simply divided what otherwise would have been one situation into two changing the connection to a conditional one. The stating a fact view, on the other hand, adds the purpose of intending that separation to state a general fact to comeback and reestablish that connection.
