a national idea. To have common glories in the past, to have a common will in

world had only one law and only one master.'

Thiscommonness did not exist from time immemorial; it was forged through

struggles,through the actions of leaders and the common people. is a good thing, a

necessity even. Their existence is a guarantee of liberty, which would be lost if the

world had only one law and only one master.'
