Two Treatises of Government (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book examines the origins of government, focusing on the hypotheses that all government is fundamentally absolute monarchy. The author argues instead that natural freedom is an inherent human right. Their exploration begins with an analysis of the concept of "fatherhood" as being the basis for the natural right to rule. The author asserts that the use of "fatherhood" as the foundation for this theory is a radical misconstruction of what constitutes both fatherhood and government. By delving into the history and evolution of government systems, the author presents an alternative theory positing that the origins of government lie in voluntary cooperation and the consent of the governed. This book challenges traditional notions of governance with meticulously researched historical and philosophical arguments that are still highly relevant in today's political climate.
