Law is the will of the governors, whether they be kings or a multitude of monopolists. They are built to compel subjection, to entrust one man with power oves another, to enable him to decide what that other may or may not do, is to magnify the one and belittle the other. It is at the very start a violation of justice, the equal bal- ance is the symbol of justice.
