While Kings and Oligarchies were in the ascendency, the Standard of Right-the King's or the Oligarchs' will-were based on his or their ideas of right. Later, when the People secured the conduct of their own affairs, the voice of the Majority became the voice of God, as expressed in the popular motto: _Vox_populi,_vox_Dei_.
Having then no Standard of true Social Organization, it is natural, though short sighted, that the reformatory party-perceiving the insufficiencies and drawbacks of our present Societary Arrangements, feeling that _they_ have no need of the Governmental and Religious institutions of the day, that these are, indeed, rather hindrances than aids to _their_ progress-should think that the people of the whole world, of the civilized nations, or of one civilized nation, at least, were in like state of preparation, and that those Institutions could be safely and advantageously dispensed with. There could scarcely be a greater mistake. There are but comparatively few individuals in the world who are so highly developed in their intellectual and moral capacities, and in practical ability also, as to be competent to be a law unto themselves in the general conduct of life.
