The Principles and Maxims on Which the Security and Happiness of a Republic Depend: A Sermon, Delivered Before the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor, ... the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 29, 1 - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles and Maxims on Which the Security and Happiness of a Republic Depend: A Sermon, Delivered Before the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Council, and the Two Houses Composing the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 29, 1811, Being the Day of General Election
As example is more forcible than precept, we have selected this passage of sacred history to introduce our discourse. Even when such a sublime character is but briefly pictured out, the imperfect portrait is still adapt ed to fill the mind with generous and noble ideas. We shall take occasion from the language uttered by this great and good man, to point out the duties and max ims, necessary to be observed by a free people, if they wish to continue a pure republic - such I mean, as was referred to by Gideon in his answer to the people of Israel; that is, the Almighty governing a nation. Through the medium and instrumentality of its best and wisest citizens.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a discursive sermon that explores the foundations of a pure and genuine republic, a system where the greater governs the less, and the latter is protected from the former by a fixed constitution. The author draws upon ancient law and philosophy to illustrate the maxims and principles necessary to preserve such a system, including the importance of religion and morality, patriotism, and the need to guard against corruption and foreign influence. The author also cautions against the dangers of excessive political intolerance and demagoguery, emphasizing the delicacy of political balance and the need for constant vigilance to preserve liberty. This book offers valuable insights into the historical and philosophical foundations of republican government and serves as a timely reminder of the challenges and responsibilities inherent in maintaining a free and just 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 # 9781333396701_0
