Socrates Vs Kant

- Article 1 states that “No treaty of peace shall be held valid in which there is a tacitly reserved matter for a future war” because that would essentially be a contract made in bad faith where it is supposedto be signed in good faith, Bona Fides, and would furthermore violate the concept of a “peace treaty” supposed to remove the causes of future wars.
- Article 2 states that “No independent states, large or small, shall come under the dominion of another state” because that undermines the moral basis of the nation. Kant reasoned that a nation is by definition “a society of men whom no one else has any right to command”.
