As,
before
putting
up
a
large
building,
the
architect
surveys
and
sounds
the
site
to
see
if
it
will
bear
the
weight,
the
wise
legislator
does
not
begin
by
laying
down
laws
good
in
themselves,
but
by
investigating
the
fitness
of
the
people,
for
which
they
are
destined,
to
receive
them.
Plato
refused
to
legislate
for
the
Arcadians
and
the
Cyrenaeans,
because
he
knew
that
both
peoples
were
rich
and
could
not
put
up
with
equality;
and
good
laws
and
bad
men
were
found
together
in
Crete,
because
Minos
had
inflicted
discipline
on
a
people
already
burdened
with
vice.
The replay is still saving.
