It is, for that matter, self-evident that if one community decides in
one fashion, another, also sovereign, in the opposite fashion, both
cannot be right. Reasoning men have also protested, and justly, against
the conception that what a majority in numbers, or even (what is more
compelling still) a unanimity of decision in a community may order, may
not only be wrong but may be something which that community has no
authority to order since, though it possesses a civil and temporal
authority, it acts against that ultimate authority which is its own
consciousness of right. Men may and do justly protest against the
doctrine that a community is incapable of doing deliberate evil; it is
as capable of such an action as is an individual. But men nowhere do or
can deny that the community acting as it thinks right is ultimately
sovereign: there is no alternative to so plain a truth.
