I like that he says this right after Raphael says I should not enslave myself to any king whatsoever. It takes the tyranny away from the situation to reveal a sense of community in this type of society. Individuals would offer their talents and skills to be helpful to the leadership of the society.
"Where virtue hath its due reward, and yet there is such an equality, that every man lives in plenty."
I really like the idea of a society that aknowledges and embraces this statement.
Give preference to human law over divine.
I don't know that I agree with this as I believe God's laws are more valuable than human laws.
A perfect society is for all and not just for one.
It's not really a utopic society if it doesn't fit for everyone. That would be more one person's dream.
Capital punishment is immoral to use so frequently and goes against divine law.
I agree and disagree with this statement. I think frequent use of capital punishment could be considered immoral, however capital punishment as a whole may or may not be looked at like that.
Kings should improve their kingdom and not try to expand.
I like this statement because it encourages rulers to be content with their kingdom and to seek good and improvement within it. Rather than seeking to always gain more territory, they can focus on the welfare of their people.
A prince should take more care of his people than himself.
I really just like the servant leadership mentality. I think it makes for an excellent leadership structure and forms a good nature within a nation's people.
