Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature of society and the principles that underpin legitimate governance. The author argues that sovereignty, or the supreme authority within a state, originates from the consent of the governed. Through a series of thought experiments and historical examples, the author traces the development of social contract theory, from its roots in ancient Greek philosophy to its modern formulations. The book explores the complex relationship between individual liberty and collective authority, and argues that the best form of government is one that balances the rights of citizens with the need for social order. Ultimately, the author concludes that understanding the origins and principles of sovereignty is crucial for building just and stable societies.
