We Disapprove Of State Education. Then The Socialists Say That We Are Opposed To Any Education. We Object To A State Religion. Then The Socialists Say That We Want No Religion At All. We Object To A State-enforced Equality. Then They Say That We Are Against Equality. And So On, And So On. It Is As If The Socialists Were To Accuse Us Of Not Wanting Persons To Eat Because We Do Not Want The State To Raise Grain.

...the Statement, "the Purpose Of The Law Is To Cause Justice To Reign," Is Not A Rigorously Accurate Statement. It Ought To Be Stated That The Purpose Of The Law Is To Prevent Injustice From Reigning. In Fact, It Is Injustice, Instead Of Justice, That Has An Existence Of Its Own. Justice Is Achieved Only When Injustice Is Absent.

Law Is Justice. In This Proposition A Simple And Enduring Government Can Be Conceived. And I Defy Anyone To Say How Even The Thought Of Revolution, Of Insurrection, Of The Slightest Uprising Could Arise Against A Government Whose Organized Force Was Confined Only To Suppressing Injustice.
