当旧的形式似乎即将腐烂，旧的行动规则失去约束力时，人类、国家和世界的生活中常常会出现危机。现有制度的弊端掩盖了它们所带来的好处，而在需要改革的地方，就会有人提出颠覆的呼声。
(There comes not seldom a crisis in the life of men, of nations, and of worlds, when the old forms seem ready to decay, and the old rules of action have lost their binding force. The evils of existing systems obscure the blessings that attend them, and, where reform is needed, the cry is raised for subversion.)
