"The violation therefore of law does not constitute a crime where the law is bad, but the violation of  what ought to be a law, is a crime even when there is no law. The essence of right and wrong does not depend upon words and clauses inserted in a code or a statute-book, much less upon the conclusions and explications of lawyers, but upon reason and the nature of things, antecedent to all laws." - Cato's Letters no. 42 (1721)
