This is an essay in legal theory, not a doctoral thesis. I have tried to keep the footnotes to a minimum and shunned textual footnotes. The essay is, of course, based on extensive reading. In addition to the sources of direct quotations, I have wanted to indicate merely the literature I have most profited from. Yet I have not considered it necessary to identify the sources of all household premises of legal theory and sociology, say, the views and insights of classics such as Hobbes, Bentham, and John Austin or Kant and Weber.
