Legalistically, you may appeal to the Emperor, but would get no hearing. The Emperor today is not the Emperor of an Entun dynasty, you know. Trantor, I am afraid, is in the hands of the aristocratic families, members of which compose the Commission of Public Safety. This is a development which is well predicted by psychohistory.
Isaac Asimov (c. 2 January 1920 – 6 April 1992) was a Russian-born American biochemist who was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, his works include the Foundation series and I, Robot.

Trantor was a world in dregs and rebirth. Set like a faded jewel in the midst of the bewildering crowd of suns at the center of the Galaxy — in the heaps and clusters of stars piled high with aimless prodigality — it alternately dreamed of past and future.

Ahora bien, no todos los blancos de la antigua Confederación se mostraban totalmente pasivos. En diciembre de 1865, un grupo de antiguos oficiales del ejército confederado formaron un grupo que llamaron Kyklos -palabra griega que significa círculo-, y puesto que muchos de ellos eran de ascendencia escocesa o irlandesa, se consideraban un clan, que escribían erróneamente klan por aliteración.
