In the first place we have granted to God, and by this our present charter confirmed for us and our heirs forever that the English Church shall be free, and shall have her rights entire, and her liberties inviolate; and we will that it be thus observed; which is apparent from this that the freedom of elections, which is reckoned most important and very essential to the English Church, we, of our pure and unconstrained will, did grant, and did by our charter confirm and did obtain the ratification of the same from our lord, Pope Innocent III, before the quarrel arose between us and our barons: and this we will observe, and our will is that it be observed in good faith by our heirs forever.

But if a long train of abuses, prevarications and artifices, all tending the same way, make the design visible to the people, and they cannot but feel what they lie under, and see whither they are going; it is not to be wondered, that they should then rouze themselves, and endeavour to put the rule into such hands which may secure to them the ends for which government was at first erected; and without which, ancient names, and specious forms, are so far from being better, that they are much worse, than the state of nature, or pure anarchy; the inconveniencies being all as great and as near, but the remedy farther off and more difficult. (Second Treatise of Government)

Thus, to the German philosophers of the eighteenth century, the demands of the first French Revolution were nothing more than the demands of "Practical Reason" in general, and the utterance of the will of the revolutionary French bourgeoisie signified in their eyes the law of pure Will, of Will as it was bound to be, of true human Will generally.

The industry's future growth potential is approximately 15% per year . Auto lease purchasing has grown due to the expansion in sales of commercial vehicles, supported by affordable leasing services at low interest rates . Unlike hire-purchase, pure leasing which focuses on machinery leases has been slowing down since the economic crisis because local manufacturers have limited capital to invest in equipment . Over the past year, more leasing firms turned to focus more on used car financing, as a result of higher price of new cars and buyers are more interested in good quality used cars . The top three players in the leasing industry are GE Capital Auto Lease (GECAL), Toyota Leasing, and Siam Panich Leasing (SPL) . Their combined loan portfolio totals over 40 billion baht (approximately US$922 million), representing about 38% of the total market size . Factors that will continue to influence the market size are: the entry of new foreign leasing companies with lower funding costs and a stronger financial base; lower and/or fixed interest rate policies resulting from higher competition, and the setting up of auto makers' wholly-owned leasing companies to increase sales and to help car-buyers make decision quicker by providing attractive leasing rate.
