Postscript to the London Evening Post on Laws and Society
The author argues that coercive laws are necessary to maintain safety and justice in society. Without laws, there would be little justice and the world would resemble a wilderness where men prey on each other. Laws are described as the sinews and cement that bind a commonwealth.
