Morals
God has given us time on earth, intellectual and moral life, which, from our point of view, includes all other gifts. Since these are the three things that keep us alive, make us whole, and can't be understood without them, Nature and God have given each of us the right to protect our person, our freedom, and our property. If every man has the right to protect himself, his freedom, and his possessions with or without force, then other men also have the right to band together and form a common force to support this defense on a regular basis.
Organization
So, nothing could be clearer than this: The law is the organization of the natural right to a legal defense. It is the substitution of collective forces for individual forces with the goal of acting in the domain in which they have a right to act, doing what they have a right to do, to protect people's lives, freedoms, and property and keep each in its right so that justice can reign over everyone. Because under such a system, everyone would feel like he or she had all of the fullness and all of the responsibility of their lives. As long as everyone's safety was guaranteed, work was free, and the results of work were safe from all unfair attacks, no one would face any problems in the State.
When we're doing well, we shouldn't have to thank the government, but when things go wrong, we shouldn't think of putting the blame on the government any more than our peasants think of blaming hail or frost on the government. We should only know it through the great gift of Safety.
"Unhappily, law is by no means confined to its own sphere"(Bastiat Frédéric 2011 p.52). This is very true in a variety of ways. Law can be very complicated at times, but must be followed to a tee when doing so through business, or something professional. It hasn't left its rightful place just because some ideas about it are unclear or up for debate. It has done even more. It has done the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do; it has destroyed its own purpose; it has been used to destroy the justice it was supposed to create and to erase the limit it was supposed to uphold; it has put the power of the collective in the hands of those who want to trade without fear or remorse in the lives, freedoms, and property of others; it has turned theft into a way of life. All that we are aware of is the fact that this person is shrouded in mystery, and we can say with absolute certainty that this person is the most sought after, the most tortured, the most overwhelmed, the most admired, the most accused, the most invoked, and the most provoked of any person in the entire world. "But the most remarkable part of it is the astonishing blindness of the public through it all"(Bastiat Frédéric 2011 p.100). He is stating that the public often has their eyes closed when learning about certain events and are often very biased.
We have to deal with unbearable competition from a foreign competitor who seems to be in a much better position than us to make light, so much so that he floods our national market with it at a price that is a lot cheaper. As soon as he shows up, we lose all of our business, because all of our customers go to him, and a branch of our own industry, which has a lot of effects, stops growing all at once. This enemy, who is actually the sun, fights us fiercely, and we think that sneaky Albion is behind it, since he is careful around that haughty island but not with us. What we want is for you to pass a law that says all windows, skylights, dormer windows, outside and inside shutters, curtains, blinds, bull's-eyes, in short, all openings, holes, chinks, clefts, and fissures through which the sun has been used to get into houses, to the detriment of the good manufactures with which we like to think we have furnished our country a coffin for the sun. "Well, be it so; if consumers are interested in the free admission of natural light, the producers of artificial light are equally interested in its prohibition"(Bastiat Frédéric 2011 p.230). Consumers must always be eerie of this 'natural light' that Frédéric is refering to here, because it can harm or help them overall.
