Excerpt from The Political Theories, of Martin Luther

Aristotle, in a sense the founder of political science, declares that man is by nature a political animal and that the state in natural and necessary to him. It comes into being for the sake of mere life, but it continues to exist for the sake of the good life. It has no more important function than that of securing intellectual culture and physical training to its youth.
