usages of these words Law never made men more just; and, "by means of" their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice. What is the meaning of "by means of" ? It is formal, informal, common, uncommon, please give me other common examples of this phrase. The mass of men serve the State "thus", not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. What is the meaning of "thus" in the above sentence? It is formal, informal, common, uncommon, please give me other common examples of this word but in the same position. I know what it means at the beginning of a sentence but at the end of a sentence I am confused. Thank you.I forgot to put another sentence: In most cases there is no free exercise "whatever" of the judgment or of the moral sense; What is the meaning of "whatever" in this phrase? please give me other examples of this word but in the same way that it is using here. thank you.
