Non-Aggression Principle Law and Legal Definition
The non-aggression principle refers to a moral attitude that aggression is inherently unlawful. The principle says that except for self-defense, don’t harm others, don’t harm or steal their property, don’t break your word, don’t try to coerce anyone by threatening to do any of these things, and don’t delegate or encourage anyone to do any of these things. However, the non-aggression principle does not preclude violent self-defense.
