Dictatorship of Robinson Crusoe
Robinson's view on the island and other people.
“My island was now peopled, ...very rich in subjects; ...
how like a king I looked.
First of all, the whole country was my own property...
I had an undoubted right of dominion.
Secondly, my people were perfectly subjected—I was
absolutely lord and lawgiver—they all owed their lives to
me...
It was remarkable, too, I had but three subjects, and
they were of three different religions... However, I
allowed liberty of conscience throughout my dominions...”
