The Struggle for Law

The Struggle for Law

“Law and justice prosper in a given country not merely because the judge sits on the bench in constant readiness and the police dispatch constables, but because everyone contributes their own share. Everyone is called upon, and obliged, to crush the head of the hydra of arbitrariness and unlawfulness wherever it may appear. Everyone who enjoys the blessings of the law must, on their part as well, contribute to ensuring that the force of the law and respect for it are preserved; in short, everyone is a born champion of the law in the interest of society as a whole.”
