A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission And Nonresistance To The Higher Powers (1750)

""A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission And Nonresistance To The Higher Powers"" is a book written by Jonathan Mayhew in 1750. The book is a political and religious treatise that argues against the idea of unlimited submission to authority and nonresistance to higher powers. Mayhew argues that individuals have the right to resist unjust laws and rulers, and that obedience to authority should be based on reason and conscience rather than blind obedience. The book was written during a time of political turmoil in the American colonies, and Mayhew's arguments were influential in shaping the ideas of the American Revolution. The book is considered a classic of American political thought and is still studied by scholars today.With Some Reflections On The Resistance Made To King Charles I And On The Anniversary Of His Death: In Which The Mysterious Doctrine Of That Princes Saintship And Martyrdom Is Unriddled: The Substance Of Which Was Delivered In A Sermon Preached In The West Meeting-House In Boston The Lords-Day After The 30th Of January, 1749/50.: Published At The Request Of The Hearers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
