Para empezar, la palabra universal oculta un sofisma grosero. Hay en Francia treinta seis millones de habitantes. Para que el derecho de sufragio fuera universal, tendría que serle reconocido a treinta y seis millones de electores. En el sistema más amplio, no se le reconoce sino a nueve millones. Luego, quedan excluidas tres de cada cuatro personas, y lo que es más importante, quien excluye a los otros es la cuarta persona. ¿Sobre qué principio se funda tal exclusión?

Additional quotes by Frédéric Bastiat

The existence of persons and property preceded the existence of the legislator, and his function is only to guarantee their safety.

The oppressor no longer acts directly and with his own powers upon his victim. No, our discretion has become too refined for that. The tyrant and his victim are still present, but there is an intermediate person between them, which is the Government — that is, the Law itself.

the radical passiveness of mankind, — the omnipotence of the law, — the infallibility of the legislator: — this is the sacred symbol of the party which proclaims itself exclusively democratic.
