8 June 1816
Political Deontology

In every people such a state of things is altogether
inconsistent with all government.

In To say that in every people without exception
this same state of things is absolutely incompatible with
that security which is being necessary to well-being is one
of the main ends of all good government would be too much
to say: for of all small communities the numbers
of which hold have together in peace and without any
government in any shape i.e. without coercion applied by
some to the wills of others instances might perhaps
not be altogether wanting.

But as applied to the only sort of communities
the condition of which is to the present purpose worth
considering it may be said with truth that any such
state of things is altogether incompatible not only with
government, but with that security which is necessarily
among the ends of government, and thereby with that
well being which according to the principles of utility
is the only legitimate universal end of government.
