Synopsis

""Dissertations On First Principles Of Government"" is a collection of essays written by Thomas Paine, a prominent political philosopher and revolutionary. In this book, Paine explores the fundamental principles of government, including the role of the state, the nature of democracy, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. The essays cover a range of topics, from the history of government and the origins of political power, to the importance of individual liberty and the need for checks and balances in government. Paine's writing is clear and concise, and his arguments are grounded in a deep understanding of political theory and history. The book is a classic of political philosophy and a must-read for anyone interested in the principles of democracy and government.There are however some things deducible from reason, and evidenced by experience, that serve to guide our decision upon the case. The one is never to invest any individual with extraordinary power; for besides his being tempted to misuse it, it will excite contention and commotion in the nation for the office. Secondly, never to invest power long in the hands of any number of individuals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
