Subjection \Sub*jec"tion\, n. [L. subjectio: cf. OF. subjection,
   F. subj['e]tion. See {Subject}, a.]
   1. The act of subjecting, or of bringing under the dominion
      of another; the act of subduing.

            The conquest of the kingdom, and subjection of the
            rebels.                               --Sir M. Hale.

   2. The state of being subject, or under the power, control,
      and government of another; a state of obedience or
      submissiveness; as, the safety of life, liberty, and
      property depends on our subjection to the laws. ``To be
      bound under subjection.'' --Chaucer.

            Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own
            husbands.                             --1 Peter iii.
                                                  1.

            Because the subjection of the body to the will is by
            natural necessity, the subjection of the will unto
            God voluntary, we stand in need of direction after
            what sort our wills and desires may be rightly
            conformed to His.                     --Hooker.
