This work addresses the author's critiques and insights regarding the inaugural address of President Grover Cleveland and the broader implications of governmental authority, laws, and justice. Spooner articulates a strong libertarian perspective, arguing against the legitimacy of laws created by lawmakers and the detrimental impact of such laws on individual rights and freedoms. The opening of the text presents Spooner's argument that Cleveland's inaugural address reflects a false narrative of justice attributed to a government that, according to Spooner, operates outside the principles of natural justice. He challenges the very notion that lawmakers can create laws that embody justice, asserting instead that true justice is immutable and cannot be altered by human authority. Spooner suggests that the government has usurped individual rights under the guise of protection and order, leading to widespread injustice, poverty, and servitude among the populace. He emphasizes the need for individuals to understand and reclaim their inherent rights against the encroachment of governmental authority, setting the stage for a critical examination of the intersection between power and personal freedom.
