The True Constitution Of Government In The Sovereignty Of The Individual

The True Constitution of Government in the Sovereignty of the Individual, written by Stephen Pearl Andrews in 1854, is a book that explores the idea of individual sovereignty as the foundation of government. Andrews argues that Protestantism, democracy, and socialism have all contributed to the development of this concept, which he believes is the true basis of a just and effective government.Throughout the book, Andrews examines the historical and philosophical roots of individual sovereignty, tracing its development from the Protestant Reformation to the Enlightenment and beyond. He argues that the principles of democracy and socialism, which emphasize the importance of individual rights and social justice, are natural extensions of this idea.Andrews also critiques the existing forms of government, arguing that they are based on outdated and flawed assumptions about human nature and the role of the state. He proposes a new model of government that is based on the principles of individual sovereignty and emphasizes the importance of voluntary cooperation and mutual aid.Overall, The True Constitution of Government in the Sovereignty of the Individual is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and activists today. It offers a powerful critique of existing forms of government and proposes a bold new vision for a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
