Law is simply the social embodiment of violence. People have disagreements and all disagreements must be resolved one way or another. They disagree because their beliefs about their circumstances are incompatible and they must resolve each moment in order to move into the next. Arguments are divisive by their very nature. The law imposes resolution. Where the law can be seen to give favor to any person or kind of person, outside of its role in establishing a just and orderly peace for all, it gives the perception of having been corrupted.

When you erect statues, monuments, and images that do not reflect the pure intent of jurisprudence, you also take the risk of having your engraven images honored/dishonored over the law itself.
