Excerpt from Our Human Rights According to the Laws of Nature: Progressive Theories on Law and Government
My motto and object shall be to do the most good for the most people. I believe that all laws, decisions of all courts and the very constitution itself should be based on that motto. This, then, would constitute just government, as just government is only obtained, by the will and with the consent of a majority of those governed, providing always that such majority is prop erly and fully informed of their just rights in everything by proper education. People would not be deceived, mis represented and exploited as continually and generally done at present, in such open and flagrant manner by our deceptive system of government, officials, our laws for Special Privilege and exploitation, if properly edu cated.
