The Power Of The Sovereign And The Right Of Liberty Of Conscience: In Two Discourses Paperback - 2007

""The Power Of The Sovereign And The Right Of Liberty Of Conscience: In Two Discourses"" is a book written by Gerard Noodt. The book discusses the relationship between the power of the sovereign and the right of liberty of conscience. Noodt argues that the power of the sovereign is limited by the right of liberty of conscience, which is a fundamental right of every individual. He emphasizes that the state should not interfere with an individual's beliefs and religious practices, and that individuals have the right to freely express their opinions and beliefs without fear of persecution. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the concept of sovereignty and the second part focusing on the right of liberty of conscience. Overall, the book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the balance between state power and individual freedom, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in political philosophy and the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
