(Lucilius Alonzo) title: Concerning Justice date: None words: 28194 flesch: 55 summary: The thesis I have endeavored to support in these lectures, so far as I have a thesis, is this: (1) that, after all, human justice consists in securing to each individual as much liberty of action in the exercise of his physical and mental powers and as much liberty to enjoy the fruits of such action as is consistent with like liberty for other individuals, and with such restrictions only as are necessary for the welfare of society as a whole without discrimination for or against any individual; and (2) that that justice is more firmly secured by a government with a division of powers, with a written constitution excluding from governmental interference such personal rights as long experience has shown to be necessary both for the happiness and efficiency of the individual subject and for the welfare and efficiency of all; and (3) finally with an independent judiciary to defend those rights when assailed, as they often have been, and will be, by impatient and changeable majorities. It is only of the conduct of men in their relations to other men that we can predicate justice or injustice. keywords: act; action; constitution; courts; executive; freedom; government; individual; judges; justice; king; law; laws; legislature; liberty; man; nature; people; power; public; question; rights; society; state; time; truth cache: 31504.txt plain text: 31504.txt item: #4 of 5 id: 37325 author: Stables, Gordon title: Harry Milvaine; Or, The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy date: None words: 79022 flesch: 88 summary: Said Harry to himself, It is evident they are having a dance, and no doubt they will keep it up quite a long time.
