At no known point in social history were conquerors and
exploiters able to unify the earth politically and exploit its total
economic resources.
A planned, stabilized future for humanity will be assured when the earth
is governed much as cities, states, nations and empires have been
governed in the past and the present, but with one essential difference.
At no known past time have all human beings been represented in a
government authorized to make and enforce world law. In the absence of
law, chaos and armed conflicts have determined the course of human
affairs. Under a recognized world federal government, world law will
bring, for the first time, the practical possibility of a law and order
determined by and for the human population and charged with the
responsibility for establishing and maintaining planetary public policy.
World law will be only one aspect of the new situation that will result
from the establishment of a planned, stabilized future for humanity.
Other aspects of the new society will include:
1. Shaping the future of nature on and in the planet, with all of its
potential riches.
2. Perhaps also taking a hand in determining the future of other
celestial bodies making up our solar system.
3. Shaping human society, the man-made and man-remade human heritage
that plays so vital a role in determining the course of human
life--individual and social.
4. Shaping and guiding man--the gregarious, imaginative, venturesome,
productive--destructive, creative animal.
