LAW AND oRoER

civilized countries that mankind
must have laws 10 govern them.
They must have rules and conform

OF course knowledge stands pre-

men disobey the,laws ofsociety and
the. course laid out by men gifted
by divinity and who are the most
capable Of judging, because they
lack auficiency Of knowledge and
can not keep their animal passions
frompredominating over their will.
This is the reason why we need
laws. The mass of humanity is not
capable Of discriminating and must

who could live without the laws of /

obliged to have them for protec-
lion from those whose evil passions

All men are created equal when
