8 Jany 1807

Judges have neither power to fees to receive nor power to exercise abuse.
One of the people stole this repository of state secrets substitute for law, or at least
a part of it and developed it. The moment it was known
it ceased to answer the purpose of those who had made it,
they made another in its stead.

Tired out with despotism, the people became clamorous
for laws. The cry thus was not, as with us, give us our
rights – but give us our duties. Render it possible for
us to know them, render obedience possible to us. A
demand so seditious in its principle, was resisted of course
as long as possible: but at last, resistances being in vain,
laws, such as they were, such as the lights of the age time could produce
were made.
