 3     II, V   |             of construction; for the legislator could not form a state at
 4     II, V   |         happiness, and says that the legislator ought to make the whole

 7     II, VII |           penury. Clearly, then, the legislator ought not only to aim at
 8     II, VII |        welfare of the state. But the legislator should consider also its
 9     II, VIII|             husbandmen, although the legislator intended to make a distinction
10     II, IX  |              happened at Sparta; the legislator wanted to make the whole
11     II, IX  |             gave themselves into the legislator’s hand, already prepared
12     II, IX  |              laws; for, although the legislator rightly holds up to shame
13     II, IX  |             this inequality. For the legislator, wanting to have as many
14     II, IX  |           result, whether due to the legislator or to chance, has been advantageous.
15     II, IX  |          such a manner that even the legislator himself cannot trust them,
16     II, IX  |         chooses or not. And here the legislator clearly indicates the same
17     II, IX  |       personal life and conduct. The legislator himself obviously did not
18     II, IX  |            thus the intention of the legislator is frustrated. The common
19     II, IX  |         against the intention of the legislator, is likewise justified;
20     II, IX  |  contributions. The result which the legislator has produced is the reverse
21     II, X   |           out of a common stock. The legislator has many ingenious ways

23     II, XI  |           rule best. And even if the legislator does not care to protect

26     II, XII |             some to have been a good legislator, who put an end to the exclusiveness
27    III, I   |     oligarchy or the tyrant. And the legislator or statesman is concerned
28    III, XIII|            persons doubt whether the legislator who desires to make the
29    III, XIII|         certainly be better that the legislator should from the first so
30     IV, I   |               and therefore the true legislator and statesman ought to be
31     IV, XII |      possessed by the oligarchs.~The legislator should always include the
32      V, IX  |           none at all. Wherefore the legislator and the statesman ought

39    VII, XIII|           molded by the hands of the legislator. An else is the work of
40    VII, XIV |         share in the government, the legislator has to consider. The subject
41    VII, XIV |        subject and then a ruler, the legislator has to see that they become
42    VII, XIV |         constitution, and praise the legislator for making conquest and
43    VII, XIV |      constitution have praised their legislator, because the Lacedaemonians,
44    VII, XIV |           passed away, nor was their legislator right. How ridiculous is
45    VII, XIV |              of government which the legislator should approve, for the
46    VII, XIV |              to be deemed happy or a legislator to be praised because he
47    VII, XIV |             are the things which the legislator ought to implant in the
48    VII, XIV |            arguments, prove that the legislator should direct all his military
49    VII, XIV |              peace. And for this the legislator is to blame, he never having
50    VII, XVI |                        XVI~Since the legislator should begin by considering
51    VII, XVI |              which we digressed, the legislator must mold to his will the
52    VII, XVI |              these prescriptions the legislator will easily carry into effect
53    VII, XVII|           there is nothing which the legislator should be more careful to
