Here are a few more quotes that i need with by
apprentices to merchants or tradesmen, servants who are not employed by the state, minors…women in general and all those who are obliged to depend for their living (i. e. for food and protection) on the offices of others (excluding the state) – all of these people have no civil personality…"
"on the contrary, the welfare of the state should be see as that condition in which the constitution most closely approximates to the principles of right; and reason, by a categorical imperative, obliges us to strive for its realization."
"the reason why it is the duty of the people to tolerate even what is apparently the most intolerable misuse of supreme power is that it is impossible ever to conceive of their resistance to the supreme legislation as being anything other than unlawful and liable to nullify the entire legal constitution."
"international right is thus concerned partly with the right to make war, partly with the right of war itself, and partly with the questions of right after a war…"
"…in their external relationships with one another, states, like lawless savages, exist in a condition devoid of right….this condition is one of war…even if there is no actual war…thirdly, it is necessary to establish a federation of peoples in accordance with the idea of an original social contract, so that states will protect one another against external aggression…this association must not embody a sovereign power…but only a partnership or confederation."
in answer to the question: what right does a state have to involve its own subjects in a war against another state? "…a citizen must always be regarded as a co-legislative member of the state…and he must therefore give his free consent thought his representatives not only to the waging of war in general, but also to every particular declaration of war."
"…if a state believes that it has been injured by another state, it is entitled to resort to violence, for it cannot in the state of nature gain satisfaction through legal proceedings…such threats may arise either if one state is the first to make military preparations, on which the right of anticipatory attack…is based, or simply if there is an alarming increase of power in another state which has acquired new territories…"
on rights in wartime: "the attacked state is allowed to use any means of defense except those whose use would render its subjects unfit to be citizens…it must accordingly be prohibited for a state to use its own subjects as spies, or to use them, or indeed foreigners, as poisoners or assassins…or even just to spread false reports. in short, a state must not use such treacherous methods as would destroy that confidence which is required for the future establishment of a lasting peace."
"it is permissible in war to impose levies and contributions on the conquered enemy, but not to plunder the people…it was not the conquered people who waged the war, but the state of which they were subjects which waged it through them."
"the rights of a state against an unjust enemy are unlimited in quantity or degree…[an unjust enemy is] someone whose publicly expressed will, whether expressed in word or in deed, displays a maxim which would make peace among nations impossible and would lead to a perpetual state of nature…"
"the oceans may appear to cut nations off from the community of their fellows. but with the art of navigation, they constitute the greatest natural incentive to international commerce, and the greater the number of neighboring coastlines there are (as in the mediterranean), the livelier this commerce will be. yet these visits to foreign shores, and even more so, attempts to settle on them with a view to linking them with the motherland, can also occasion evil and violence in one part of the globe with ensuing repercussions which are felt everywhere else. but although such abuses are possible, they do not deprive the world’s citizens of the right to attempt to enter into a community with everyone else and to visit all regions of the earth with this intention."
me explain what they mean.
