Motto
“Agreements and laws are needed to join rights to duties and relate justice to its object. In the state of nature where everything is common, I don’t owe anything to someone to whom I haven’t promised anything; I recognize as belonging to others only what is of no use to me. It is not like that in the state of society, where all rights are fixed by law”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract, 1762
