If the Sovereign desires to govern, or the magistrate to give laws, or if the subjects refuse to obey, disorder takes the place of regularity, force and will no longer act together, and the State is dissolved and falls into despotism or anarchy.

• 如果主权者想要进行统治；或者，如果行政官想要制订法律；或者，如果臣民拒绝服从；那末，混乱就会代替规则，力量与意志就会不再协调一致，于是国家就会解体而陷入专制政体或是陷入无政府状态。
