Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the philosophical underpinnings of the obedience that citizens owe to governments. It compares the opposing views of those who believe that all political power originates from God, either directly or through a sacred historical line of succession, to those who believe that government authority is derived from the consent of the governed. The author traces these viewpoints through the development of political thought from the early modern period through the English Revolution, and ultimately to the present day. This book argues that the latter view, which emphasizes the importance of representative government and the natural rights of individuals, is a more just and sustainable foundation for political authority.
