An Essay on the First Principles of Government (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 explores the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty, engaging with both the philosophical and political dimensions of these concepts. The author delves into the nature of government, arguing that its true purpose is to serve the happiness of its people. This perspective is juxtaposed against the historical context of monarchies and the prevailing notions of passive obedience and non-resistance. The author criticizes those who prioritize tradition or theological dogma over the pursuit of individual and collective well-being. A key argument centers on the idea that, even in established states, power ultimately resides with the people, granting them the right to challenge and even remove oppressive rulers when necessary. Through an analysis of historical events, the author illuminates the potential dangers of unchecked power and the importance of maintaining a balance between order and liberty. The book offers a powerful and timeless exploration of the essential principles that underpin a just and flourishing society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330844090_0
