Will you stand above me?
Call me name or walk on by
Rain keep falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
--Simple Minds
Two more natural laws to add to the list:
Tolerance of restraining conditions. Humans are inclined to tolerate conditions imposed on them under which they have found comfortable adjustment. Thus cries for 'Long live the king...', etc.
Loss of social power with distance. Surveillance and social sanctions are easier to apply to the State when government is local (decentralized). The more remote (centralized) the government, social power declines and State power rises.
