The 1994 Lord Acton Essay Competition
Beyond the State
Graduate Essays on the Sovereignty of Human Conscience
“The more conscience comes to the front, the more we consider not
what the state accomplishes, but what it allows to be accomplished. [It
is] not the action of the state – its powers of action, and its use
of them, but the limitation and division of those powers. The society...is
beyond the state – the individuals...are above it.”
– Lord Acton
