A Public Force is a force which has a legitimate and legalised use of physical force in order to serve the public interests. The term is broad and loosely defined. Public force could be used to refer to either police or military forces. ==Original use of the term== The first use of the concept of a public force, in French ''Force Publique'', is in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789.'' '' Article XIII - For the maintenance of the public force and for the expenditures of administration, a common contribution is indispensable; it must be equally distributed between all the citizens, by reason of their faculties (ability to pay ).'' The declaration sought to regulate the relationship between the citizen and the legitimate use of violence. In contrast to similar declarations of rights from Anglo-Saxon countries, the emphasis is on the citizen's duty to contribute to the existence of such a force, rather than on the citizen's rights vis-a-vis such a force. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「public force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
