Juan de Mariana
From Liberpedia
“ In Regis arbitrio non esse privata civium bona. Non ergo aut universa aut partem decerpet nisi ex eorum voluntate, quorum in iure sunt.
[Private goods of the citizens are not at the King’s disposal. Therefore, he cannot take some or all of them without the consent of the rightful owners.]
- — Juan de Mariana, 1609
