| Meer info | - This volume presents an English translation of an anonimous sixteenth-century political treatise, mostly attributed to Philippe du Plessis-Mornay (1549-1623), arguing that rulers are bound by law, covenant, and moral duty. Structured around four key questions, the text examines when obedience is owed to authority and when resistance becomes legitimate. It contends that tyranny violates the divine and legal order and that collective, lawful resistance may be justified to protect liberty and religion. Written amid religious wars and absolutist claims, the work provided an early theoretical foundation for constitutional limits on power. Harold J. Laski’s introduction situates the text within the evolution of modern political thought, highlighting its lasting influence on ideas of popular sovereignty, resistance to oppression, and the rule of law. |
