This book delves into the political transformations that occurred in 17th century England and Scotland, marking a significant era in the history of Modern Liberty. It examines the clash between the Stuart kings and their subjects, analyzing both the autocratic tendencies of the monarchy and the resistance mounted by Parliament and the people. At the heart of this conflict lay the struggle for political, religious, and intellectual freedoms, ideas which had seen burgeoning growth in the previous century. The book explores the rise of the Puritan movement, the quest for religious toleration, and the emergence of figures like Milton, Harrington, and Locke as proponents of liberty. By tracing the origins and implications of these ideas, the author illuminates the complex and multifaceted nature of liberty, providing valuable insights into its historical development and enduring relevance.
