Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Laws should be few in number and clear in meaning, so that even the simplest citizen may understand them."
"Laws should be few in number and clear in meaning, so that even the simplest citizen may understand them."
"It is better to prevent crimes than to punish them."
"The purpose of punishment is not to torment a sensible being, nor to undo a crime already committed."
"Certainty of punishment, even if mild, is more effective than severity."
"Laws are the conditions under which men, naturally independent, unite to form society."
