Law in a Free State
The lawmaking body whose practical State socialism is said to have produced visible evil effects that pushed people toward individualism.
I attribute this further increase partly to the same cause, partly to the efforts of the Personal Rights Defence Association and the Liberty and Property Defence League, and partly to the visible evil effects of the practical State socialism of the Legislature.
Coming to the fine arts, they all of them seem to be regarded by the Legislature as probable incentives to low sensuality.
The Genius of the Common Law
The English lawmaking body credited with permitting the general issue to be pleaded more broadly than the courts themselves did.
But the science of special pleading having been frequently perverted to the purposes of chicane and delay, the courts have, of late, in some instances, and the legislature in many more, permitted the general issue to be pleaded, which leaves everything open, the fact, the law, and the equity of the case.
