"Coercion" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL, ENGLISH
Compulsion; force; duress. It may be either actual, (direct or positive,) where physical force is put upon a man to compel him to do an nct against hls wlll, or implied, (legal or constructive,) where the relatlon of the parties is such that one is under subjection to the other, nnd ls thereby constralned to do what his free will would refuse. State v. Darlington, 153 Ind. 1, 53 N. E. 925; Chappell v. Trent, 90 Va. 849, 19 S. E. 314; Radich v. Hutchins, 95 U. S. 213, 24 L. Ed. 409; Peyser v. New York, 70 N. Y. 497. 26 Am. Rep. 624; State v. Boyle, 13 R. I. 538
The application to another of either physical or moral
force. When the force is physical, and cannot be resisted, then the act
produced by it is a nullity, so far as concerns the party coerced. When
the force is moral, then the act, though voidable, is imputable to the
party doing it, unless he be so paralyzed by terror as to act
convulsively. At the same time coercion is not negatived by the fact of
submission under force. \"Coactus volui\" (I consented under compulsion)
is the condition of mind which, when there is volition forced by
coercion, annuls the result of such coercion.
The act or process of coercing.
And no wonder; for the new technique of "subliminal projection," as it was called, was intimately associated with mass entertainment, and in the life of civilized human beings massed entertainment now plays a part comparable to that played in the Middle Ages be religion.
