La libertà degli antichi, paragonata a quella dei moderni
by

I read the English Version.

Interesting Quote:

"The holders of authority...say to us: what, in the end, is the aim of your efforts, the motive of your labours, the object of all your hopes? Is it not happiness? Well, leave this happiness to us and we shall give it to you. No, Sirs, we must not leave it to them. No matter how touching such a tender commitment may be, let us ask the authorities to keep within their limits. Let them confine themselves to being just. We shall assume the responsibility of being happy for ourselves."

-Benjamin Constant, the Liberty of Ancients Compared with that of Moderns
