Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"Laws should be the expression of the general will of the people."
"Laws should be the expression of the general will of the people."
"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."
