The implementation of political philosophy

Hello LazarusLong,
Aside from natural law, it is a construct of men for good or ill. It is the character of those that create and then administer it that is paramount.
“As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose--that it may violate property instead of protecting it--then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.”
― Frédéric Bastiat, The Law

Respectfully,
O.A.
