Some political thinkers hope to devise a form of government in which every citizen' s rights are respected. But such a form of government is impossible. For any government must be defined and controlled by laws that determine its powers and limits; and it is inevitable that some individuals will learn how to interpret these laws to gain a greater share of political power than others have.
In any form of government that leads to unequal distribution of political power, the rights of the majority of people will be violated is an assumption required by the argument.
