Immanuel Kant on Legislation - Dictionary of Arguments

Höffe I 311
Legislation/Kant/Höffe: The legislator (...) may give his laws only in a way "that they could have emerged from the united will of a whole people”.
Natural state: What speaks against the natural state is not that it brings fear and terror with it, but that it is a state of "outwardly lawless liberty"(1).
No one is safe from the interference of others. In the natural state, then, lawlessness prevails, not injustice.
The united will of the people is nothing else but the "eternal norm," that is, the "rational principle of the judgment of all public legal constitution in general"(2). According to this the State is called upon to form its basic order in such a way "as a people with mature reason would prescribe it to itself"(3). >Rule of Law/Kant.
