Beccaria's Treatise

rulership_of_enlightened_principals

Our city produced Cesare Beccaria, whose treatise on crimes and punishments has become the most-read legal text in Europe, arguing that laws should deter crime through certainty rather than cruelty. By reforming our criminal code along these lines (replacing torture and arbitrary sentencing with proportional penalties and open courts) we create a legal system that the urban population sees as fair rather than predatory. This makes our cities easier to govern and more appealing to merchants and investors who know their disputes will be resolved by law rather than by bribes.
