Political freedom means either self-government or anarchy. In the latter case it speedily wrecks the nation that practises it. In the former case only does it last long enough to attain the dignity of a political institution. The kind of freedom which means anarchy stands con- demned by its self-destructive character. The kind which means self-restraint is justified by its effect in combining order and progress. Political thinkers are beginning to see this. We are coming to look at human histor...y as a struggle for existence between different methods of thought and systems of morals, and to find the justification for our systems of thought and morals in the fact that they contribute to the survival and develop- ment of the race which holds them. We are coming to regard political liberty not as an abstract right, to be demanded for its own sake, as Rousseau would have demanded it ; nor as a dangerous dream of unbalanced minds, to be resisted by all cham- pions of order, as Metternich would have resisted it ; but as an institution which, as different nations have worked it out for themselves, enables them to 46 FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY combine order with progress better than any other political system which has hitherto been devised.
