 ## How much law is there

-- anarchist handbook: ?
+    But the question of time is not the only difficulty. If you demand my
+    assent to any proposition, it is necessary that the proposition should be
+    stated simply and clearly. So numerous are the varieties of human
+    understanding, in all cases where its independence and integrity are
+    sufficiently preserved, that there is little chance of any two men coming
+    to a precise agreement, about ten successive propositions that are in their
+    own nature open to debate. What then can be more absurd, than to
+    present to me the laws of England in fifty volumes folio, and call upon
+    me to give an honest and uninfluenced vote upon their contents?
+
+    But the social contract, considered as the foundation of civil
+    government, requires of me more than this. I am not only obliged to
+    consent to all the laws that are actually upon record, but to all the laws
+    that shall hereafter be made. It was under this view of the subject that
+    Rousseau, in tracing the consequences of the social contract, was led to
+    assert that “the great body of the people in whom the sovereign
+    authority resides can neither delegate nor resign it. The essence of that
+    authority,” he adds, “is the general will; and will cannot be represented.
+    It must either be the same or another; there is no alternative. The
+    deputies of the people cannot be its representatives; they are merely its
+    attorneys. The laws which the community does not ratify in person, are
+    no laws, are nullities.”[iii]
