Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letter From Mr. Robert Owen to the President and Members of the New York State Convention, Appointed to Revise the Constitution of the State Under the ignorant laws of men, no arrangements have been made by any lawgiver, in anycode extant, to unite the sexes; nor can any arrangements be made unddr those laws which will unite them, without producing more crime and misery than virtue and happiness. And at this day the hidden vice and misery, falsehood and deception, created solely by the er rors proceeding from men's laws, are most appalling; and if the sufferings thereby produced, especially to the finest formed in body and mind of the female sex, were not thus hidden, and were made public, they could not be longer permitted, if it were known that they are the necessary results of false and most injurious legislation, emanating from the grossly mistaken first principles on which the present system of society over the world is alone based and supported. In a pure democracy, there will be no motive to sexual crime, and soon sexual disease will be eradicated from society. Marriages will be formed, as the laws of God unequivo cally direct, at a proper period of life, under such arrangements as will be the most likely to prevent ill-assorted unions, and to insure the greatest permanency of the first natural affections between the parties. As a Constitution of pure democracy will insure to all equal education, occupation, and condition, through life, according to age and capacity, the field of choice for the parties will be greatly enlarged, and the real character of every one in the unions will be accu' rately known from birth through every stage of life; and as the language of the unions will be 'alone the language of truth, there will he no deception before marriages, to destroy mutual confidence after marriages, when the deception becomes known, as so generally occurs under the present system The law of God is, that humanity is compelled to like or love that which is agreeab'e or lovely to the peculiar combination of qualities given by God to each individual at birth, and from that period as cultivated by society, and to dislike or loathe those qualities which are made to be disagreeable or hateful to the instincts or natural feelings of the same individuals.
