A Fragment On Government (1891)

A Fragment On Government is a political treatise written by Jeremy Bentham in 1891. The book is a critique of the British Constitution, particularly the House of Lords and the monarchy. Bentham argues that the government should be based on the principle of utility, which means that policies and laws should be designed to maximize happiness and minimize pain for the greatest number of people. He also advocates for a system of representative democracy, in which elected officials are held accountable to the people they represent. The book is considered a foundational work in the field of political philosophy and has had a significant impact on the development of modern democratic theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
