Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and practical origins of civil government. The author argues that civil government and law originated long before the formation of any government and were developed due to the natural social needs of mankind. He asserts that the institution of civil society was a matter of expediency rather than the course of our original destination and that a free government formed upon the plan of harmonious coincidence with these rights, makes no renunciations but instead brings them into full perfection. The author goes on to provide examples of the first specimens of free and limited governments throughout history concluding that the ideal government unites liberty with law through a mixed system and that the principle of representation is the only one which completely unites both.
