Now what is just and right is to be interpreted in the sense of 'what is equal'; and that which is right in the sense of being equal is to be considered with reference to the advantage of the state, and the common good of the citizens.

But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
