This book argues that, in some cases wherein absolutist rule has become tyranny, resistance to the king is not only permissible but is in accordance with the law. The author grounds the right of resistance in a combination of Biblical, historical, and philosophical arguments, demonstrating that the idea of resistance to unjust government has a long history in the West. The author distinguishes between legitimate and illegitimate forms of government, making clear that resistance is not lawful in all cases, and that rebellion, while sometimes permissible, should be considered a measure of last resort. The author also examines the conditions under which resistance is lawful, the proper form of resistance, and the limits within which resistance can be legitimately carried out. By engaging with a wide range of sources from the canonical works of political thought to the arguments of contemporary Protestant scholars, the author sheds light on both the philosophical and practical dimensions of resistance to tyranny and provides a rich and meticulously sourced volume capable of being of interest to historians, political theorists, and general readers alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
