To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Locke says : " Where law ends tyranny begins. If the law be trans- gressed to another's harm, him whomsoever in authority exceeds the power given him by the law, and makes use of the force he has under his command to compass that upon the subject which tho law allows not, ceases in that to bo a magistrate, and acting without authority may be opposed as any other man who invades the rights of another. " That is a wise maxim laid down by Mr. Locke^ but if I had uttered it a year or two ago my loy...- alty, perhaps, would have been very much ques- tioned. The President of the United States, how- ever, utters the same sentiment in his inaugural address, for in that address he declares : " If by the mere force of numbers a majority should de- prive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might in a moral point of view justify revolution; cer- tainly would if tho lost right were a vitaI*one. " The last part of the extract I read from Mr. Locke is in substance the same. He says if the lawful rights of the people are overthrown, by their magistrates, they have a righht to resist.
