More from Harold J. Laski
What is needed is a patriot king who will destroy corruption and awaken the spirit of liberty.
There are realms of conduct within which, to be free, I must be permitted to act as I please; to be denied self-expression there, is to be denied freedom.
Yet that does not render useless, even for our own day, the kind of work Locke did.
Liberty means self-government, and self-government means the right of every man to be his own legislator.
