From what I have said, therefore, we may at leastlearn, with our utmost endeavors, to imitate the Saturnian institution;borrowing all assistance from our immortal part, while we pay to thisthe strictest obedience, we should form both our private economy andpublic policy from its dictates. By this dispensation of our immortalminds we are to establish a law and to call it by that name. But if anygovernment be in the hands of a single person, of the few, or of themany, and such governor or governo...rs shall abandon himself or themselvesto the unbridled pursuit of the wildest pleasures or desires, unable torestrain any passion, but possessed with an insatiable bad disease; ifsuch shall attempt to govern, and at the same time to trample on alllaws, there can be no means of preservation left for the wretchedpeople. " Plato de Leg. , lib. Iv. P. 713, c. 714, edit. Serrani.
It is true that Plato is here treating of the highest or sovereign powerin a state, but it is as true that his observations are general and maybe applied to all inferior powers; and, indeed, every subordinate degreeis immediately derived from the highest; and, as it is equally protectedby the same force and sanctified by the same authority, is alikedangerous to the well-being of the subject.
