Excerpt from The Orthocratic State the Unchanging Principles of Civics and GovernmentWhosoever, therefore, out of a state of na ture unite into a community, must be understood to give up all the power necessary to the ends for which they unite into society to the majority of the community, unless they expressly agreed on any number greater than the majority. And this is done by barely agreeing to unite into one poli tical society, which is all the compact that is or needs be between the individuals that enter into or make up a commonwealth. And thus that which begins and actually constitutes any political society is nothing but the consent of any number of freemen, capable of majority, to unite and in corporate into such society. And thus that, and that only, which did or could give beginning to any lawful government in the world.He also held that a man's tacit consent to an established government was to be inferred from the mere fact of his being within its dominions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
