Summary

It is necessary that the republic, which is made up of a multitude of men and women, be governed, in order that it not be extinguished and perish. In fact, it is everyone’s natural right to wish to protect one’s own life and being. Natural law is the common law of all nations, since it is held by natural instinct, not by any constitution. Jurists say that natural law is that which nature has taught all animals.
