ABSTRACT
In civilized countries, by the side of a despot who governs, there is almost always a lawyer, who regularizes, and strives to render consistent with one another, the arbitrary and incoherent decrees of the monarch.… He who conceives the idea of the prince, without that of the lawyer, sees only one of the aspects of tyranny; to conceive it as a whole, it is necessary to contemplate them both at once.
