To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
theocracies, forms of government whose statutes are identified with the precepts of religion. In- stead of a constitution there is the Law, given and sanctioned by God as a rule of action. The Law is at first the Myth applied. Its object is as much to propitiate the gods as to preserve social order. It is absolute because it is inspired. Many of its ordinances as drawn from the myth are inapplicable to man, and are unjust or frivolous. Yet such as it is, it rules the conduct of the commonwealth... and expresses the ideal of its perfected condition. All the oldest codes of laws are religious, and are alleged revelations. The Pentateuch, the Avesta, the Laws of Maim, the Twelve Tables, the Laws of Seleucus, all carry the endorse- ment, "And God said. " Their real intention is to teach the relation of man to God, rather than the relations of man to man. On practical points on the rights of property, on succession and wills, on contracts, on the adoption of neighbors, and on the treatment of enemies they often violate the plainest dictates of nat- ural justice, of common humanity, even of family affection.
