“In [Auberon] Herbert’s day, as in ours, people took for granted that the state (‘the people’) may properly exercise power over peaceful others (through, say, a parliament) for a variety of purposes. So he asked, ‘Have men any right to this power?’ And again, ‘If they have it, do they possess it for all matters? If not for all matters, for what matters? and in this last case how are we to tell what these matters are?'” (05/29/26)
