Law is the expression of the general will. Every citizen has a right to participate personally, or through his representative, in its foundation. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes.
Law is meant to reflect the collective beliefs and values of society, known as the general will. This means that everyone should have a say in the creation of laws, either directly or through elected representatives. The law should apply equally to all individuals, regardless of their status or background, whether it is for their protection or to hold them accountable for their actions. This principle ensures fairness and justice in the legal system.
