ABSTRACT
WE have studied in succession the moral and juridicalrules that apply to the relation of the individual tohimself, to the family group and to the professional group. We now have to set about examining the individual in his relations with another group, one greater in scope than the others, greater indeed than any other organized group in existence to-day, that is, the political group. The rules taken as a whole that have received sanction and that determine what these relations should be, form what is called civic morals. Before we begin this study, it is important to define what we understand by a political society.
