Excerpt from Principles of Government: A Treatise on Free Institutions; Including the Constitution of the United States
The Author has throughout the whole endeavored at the investigation of natural principles, and to follow truth wherever it led - he has several times been induced to differ from the opinions of some writers of the first talents and reputation. Although he has examined these opinions with the freedom of philosophical discussion, it has been his constant aim to treat the writers with that decent respect which they merit from every lover of science.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of government, tracing their roots to the very essence of human nature. It challenges the notion that the early, 'savage' state of society represents the pinnacle of human virtue and happiness, arguing instead that human progress and the establishment of civil institutions are essential for our well-being. The author, drawing upon centuries of philosophical thought and historical events, explores the inherent social nature of humankind. He examines the interplay of various human passions and appetites, such as the desire for society, ambition, and sympathy, and how they contribute to the formation and functioning of governments. The book also delves into the concepts of rights and liberty, exploring the distinctions between natural, political, and civil rights, and the role of government in protecting and balancing these rights. Through a meticulous analysis of human behavior and the historical evolution of societies, the author sheds light on the delicate balance between individual freedoms and the need for social order. He underscores the importance of establishing governments based on principles that align with human nature and promote the common good. The book's exploration of these timeless concepts provides valuable insights into the foundations of a just and harmonious society, reminding us that the pursuit of happiness is intricately intertwined with the establishment of effective and equitable governance.
