Punishment can prevent many consequences of general evil, but punishment cannot eradicate evil itself. -Montesquieu: On the Spirit of Law (I), Page 3 14. An unfair judgment is worse than many unfair behaviors. Because these unjust acts only pollute the water flow, but unfair judgments corrode the water source. -Bacon: On Justice, The Complete Works of Bacon, p. 193. Whoever holds the legislative power or supreme power of the country should rule according to the well-known and often effective established laws of the whole country, not according to temporary orders; Disputes should be decided by impartial judges in accordance with these laws. -Locke: On Government (Volume II), p. 80. Great, the rope won't bend. -everything is done by no means immutable. On the contrary, just as the sky and the sea change with the wind and waves, the law also changes with the situation and fortune. -Hegel: Principles of Philosophy of Right, pp. 7-8. How did people first break away from the animal kingdom (in a narrow sense) and how did they enter history: they were still semi-animals, savage, powerless in the face of natural forces and unaware of their own strength; So they are as poor as animals, and they are not necessarily better than animals in production. At that time, there was a certain equality in living conditions, and for parents, there was also a certain equality in social status, at least there was no social class. This equality continued to exist in primitive agricultural communes of ethnic groups with relatively late civilization. In every such commune, there are some common interests from the beginning, and the work of safeguarding these interests, although under the supervision of the whole society, cannot but be undertaken by individual members: for example, resolving disputes; Stop individuals from exceeding their authority; Supervise the use of water, especially in hot places; Finally, perform religious functions in a very primitive state. Such positions can be found at any time in primitive society, such as the oldest Deutsche Mark Commune, and even in India today. These positions are endowed with some sufficient power, which is the bud of state power. -Engels: On Anti-Turin, in Selected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 3.
