Inhaltsangabe
When does conscience authorize defying the state? An 1860 oration tests the limits of duty, law, and liberty.
The work examines how moral obligation intersects with civil government, asking what must be resisted and what must be obeyed in times of national crisis. It weighs questions of slavery, constitutional law, and divine law, offering a calm, principled look at political conscience. This edition presents the core ideas of a fiery debate from the era, exploring how individuals and communities decide when resistance is justified, and how such choices shape a nation’s future. It offers historical context, moral reasoning, and reflections on the responsibilities of citizens, rulers, and religious communities.
- How conscience can challenge legal authority without abandoning civic duty
- The boundaries between civil obedience and moral resistance
- Historical parallels from revolutions and constitutional debates
- A discussion of slavery, divine law, and the role of the Constitution

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a timely and in-depth exploration of the complex relationship between conscience and civil government. Drawing upon historical and philosophical perspectives, the author examines the fundamental principles of government and the ethical obligations of citizens. By analyzing cases where obedience to the law conflicts with personal conscience, the book sheds light on the delicate balance between individual rights and the authority of the state. The author argues that the conscience of the people is central to understanding the present state of affairs in the United States, where the Constitution and laws of the land have lost their moral force due to misinformed and misdirected moral sentiments. The book provides valuable insights into the nature of government, the limits of obedience, and the role of conscience in a democratic society. By examining these crucial issues, the book contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges facing modern governments and the importance of maintaining a balance between individual liberty and collective well-being.
