Page 50 Chapter Focus Question - What are the main historical sources of the democratic traition? Can you list and explain the role each played in the development?

"To rule well a king requires two things, arms and laws, that by them both times of war and of peace may righly be ordered. For each stands in need of the other, that the achievment of arms be conserved (by the law), and the laws themselves preserved by the support of arms. If arms fail against hostile and unsubdued enemies, then the realm be without defense; if laws fail, justice will be extirpated; nor will there be any man to render just judgment"
