** I — Superstition and the fraudulence of voting

** II — Fictional majorities and the fallacies of parliamentary votes

** III — Reason not the preserve of majorities, but intelligence built through the exercise of freedom. The law-making function is negative and centralistic; free consent boosts autonomy and vitality. The affliction lies in law per se and no amount of tinkering can alter it.

** IV — Examples and errors of the law of majorities

** V— Social righteousness and free personality

** VI — Legislated social rights lead to disintegration. Respect for man the driving, cohesive principle. Reason and free agreement rather than law and suffrage

** VII — The exercise and practice of association founded upon trial and error

** VIII — Against divisive, coercive authority: the unfettered exercise of intelligence as a creative, organising influence
