. The State is therefore an organization for that end, and it is judged by what it does towards that end. It exists to enable its citizens to realize, as far as possible, the demands of their personality. Its power is therefore a limited power ; unless it is successful in achieving its end, it will not ultimately secure bbedience, and if it uses bad methods, it will be challenged by those who suffer from their results. Professor Laski will discuss this aspect of the question of civil obedience this evening in his fifth talk.
