Quote
“Man too is a social animal. He naturally needs to live in association with other human beings in organized societies. … A political community is a society that is thus constituted. Being political in nature means that man by nature needs political liberty – the freedom of an enfranchised citizen. This is the basis of man’s entitlement, by natural right, to political liberty. Deprived of political liberty, as slaves are or as the subjects of a despot no matter how benevolent, human beings cannot fulfill their natural propensities and lead fully human lives. They are deprived of a real good to which they are naturally entitled.”Share
