ABSTRACT

According to the logical principle of Contradiction, all Right is accompanied with an implied Title or warrant to bring compulsion to bear on any one who may violate it in fact. The Juridical state is that relation of men to one another which contains the conditions, under which it is alone possible for every one to obtain the Right that is his due. The formal Principle of the possibility of actually participating in such Right, viewed in accordance with the Idea of a universally legislative Will, is public justice. The Natural or non-juridical Social state may be viewed as the sphere of private right, and the Civil state may be specially regarded as the sphere of public right. From the conditions of Private Right in the Natural state, there arises the Postulate of Public Right. Public right embraces the whole of the Laws that require to be universally promulgated in order to produce a juridical state of Society.
