The Law of Principle
This is the Law that gives humans the perception of basic rules of the cosmos. For example, all life forms are commonly observed protecting themselves against harm, the principle of inherent self-preservation. Humans regard the principle as a "moral value" defining right from wrong for themselves at least, and they in turn make "murder" illegal. Such is a measure of integration of the five-sensory intellect by the wisdom of the soul, and the conscience it supplies.
Similarly, the Law of Principle has seen humanity rule out the initiation of physical force by one human on another, as in rape and robbery, but the collective group known as "government" was still not held to the same moral value by the end of the 20th century. Such was the slowness of soul integration.
Governmental systems still rested on using coercion backed by physical force for their creation and survival, little different in principle from practices of organized crime to achieve goals. The essential difference was that one was called robbery, while the other was called involuntary taxation.
Cosmic Laws work together to overcome the idea that wrong action is acceptable so long as there are good results. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis once warned against government violating even earthly laws in pursuit of "good" ends;
"If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law."
Beyond this, government not reflecting the highest principles is faced with a situation of far greater magnitude, according to the wisdom of the soul;
"If government is in disharmony with Cosmic Laws, it breeds its own collapse."
The idea that moral ends justify forceful means, a pragmatic approach, is an ill-fated position of five-sensory intellects unintegrated by the principled wisdom of the soul, but the evolution of human consciousness, and conscience, guarantees change.
The bottom line is, the Law of Principle ensures moral means to moral ends, a voluntary association in governing practices, and an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION is being advanced to this end.
