Why not act in the
same manner with
regard to legislation
The Problem of the best
System of laws ought
to be proposed to all
Frederick the Great twice
proposed the problem
but always to one person
alone
The first did nothing
worthy of notice,
the second less confident
was more successful
He invited Criticism
but confined his
invitations to Germans
Individuals and
Societies have been
more liberal
the best reward would
be the assurance of its
adoption
Competitor
ought to be always
allowed unless there
is reason to the
contrary
