First Principles: The End of Law Is Not To Abolish Or Restrain, But To Preserve and Enlarge Freedom…Where There Is No Law, There Is No Freedom

“The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.” – John Locke

Today marks the anniversary of John Locke’s death. Without Mr. Locke’s words and thoughts, the American Revolution would never have happened. Yet, we pay so little heed to his work today. Perhaps it is time we studied it again before we lose our great nation.
