Everyone should be required to do what they can do. The very first basis of authority is reason (...). If you command your people to throw themselves into the sea: they will rebel, make a revolution. I have the right to demand obedience because my orders are reasonable.
""Mindenkitől azt kell követelni, amit az illető megtehet. A tekintély legelső alapja az értelem (...). Ha népednek azt parancsolod, vesse magát a tengerbe: föllázad, forradalmat csinál. Azért van jogom engedelmességet követelni, mert ésszerűek a parancsaim."
