Synopsis
Excerpt from The Relation of the Individual to the Republic
I alluded, just now, to the sense of individual responsibility that presses upon us in all our conduct. The importance of the individual in the republic, and the mutual obligations which rest upon him and upon the State, form the essential ideas Of the discourse to which I now invite your attention. The words of the text were applied by the apostle Paul to the christian church but they are applicable to every Commonwealth, and should be written in letters of light upon all its institutions. They suggest the one ness and the common weal of the body politic, and yet maintain, for each of its members, a distinct and prominent individualism. They give a peculiar sig nificance to the grand truth, that the aggregate which forms the State is made up of units, each containing a moral force, each comprising the law of duty, the light of reason, and the power Of will. They declare the relation of all to each, of each to all.

The Relation of the Individual to the Republic (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book stresses the significant connection between the individual and the republic, emphasizing that each person has distinct responsibilities to the state and vice versa. It argues that a state's prosperity is intrinsically linked to the moral development of its citizens, which can be fostered through education and fair criminal legislation that prioritizes rehabilitation. By examining historical precedents, the author illustrates that parties and political action, when grounded in principle and compromise, can be powerful vehicles for good. However, the author cautions against the dangers of illegitimate parties that prioritize self-interest over the common good. Ultimately, the book underscores the enduring importance of individual morality, rooted in religious principles, as the cornerstone of a thriving republic and a fulsome life.
