ANy State-England; America, France,
Russia—always presents the striking phenomenon of a small number of people (the government) issuing orders (which are usually obeyed) to avast number of citizens. Why do these obey ? Many theories have been put forward in explanation-for instance, consent, fear, habit, utility. None by itself is satisfactory, though each has a part of truth in it. How far the motives for obedience can be ascertained will be the subject of Professor Laski's fourth talk.
