Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues for the concept of popular sovereignty, concerning the legitimacy of governments. The author declares that a government's legitimacy stems from the "general will" of the people, rather than the power of a select few or the divine right of kings. The book provides a detailed discussion of the nature and extent of popular sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate authority. Legitimate authority, the author argues, derives from the will of the people while illegitimate authority is based on force. This concept of popular sovereignty was a key principle of the French Revolution and remains a cornerstone of democratic thought, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in the history of democracy and the foundations of legitimate government.
