Often The Masses Are Plundered And Do

It Is Easy To Understand Why The Law Is Used By The Legislator To Destroy In Varying Degrees Among The Rest Of The People, Their Personal Independence By Slavery, Their Liberty By Oppression, And Their Property By Plunder. This Is Done For The Benefit Of The Person Who Makes The Law, And In Proportion To The Power That He Holds.

Finally, Is Not Liberty The Restricting Of The Law Only To Its Rational Sphere Of Organizing The Right Of The Individual To Lawful Self-defense; Of Punishing Injustice?

All You Have To Do, Is To See Whether The Law Takes From Some What Belongs To Them In Order To Give It To Others To Whom It Does Not Belong. We Must See Whether The Law Performs, For The Profit Of One Citizen And To The Detriment Of Others, An Act Which That Citizen Could Not Perform Himself Without Being Guilty Of A Crime. Repeal Such A Law Without Delay. ... [i]f You Don't Take Care, What Begins By Being An Exception Tends To Become General, To Multiply Itself, And To Develop Into A Veritable System.

Life, Liberty, And Property Do Not Exist Because Men Have Made Laws. On The Contrary, It Was The Fact That Life, Liberty, And Property Existed Beforehand That Caused Men To Make Laws In The First Place.

The Law Has Been Perverted, And The Powers Of The State Have Become Perverted Along With It. The Law Has Not Only Been Turned From Its Proper Function, But Made To Follow An Entirely Contrary Purpose. The Law Has Become A Tool For Every Kind Of Greed. Instead Of Preventing Crime, The Law Itself Is Guilty Of The Abuses It Is Supposed To Punish. If This Is True, It Is A Serious Matter, And Moral Duty Requires Me To Call The Attention Of My Fellow-citizens To It.
