John Locke And The Doctrine Of Majority-Rule

By Willmoore Kendall

Book Overview

""John Locke and the Doctrine of Majority-Rule"" is a book written by Willmoore Kendall that explores the political philosophy of John Locke and his ideas on majority-rule. The book examines Locke's views on democracy, representation, and the role of government in society. Kendall argues that Locke's theory of majority-rule is not simply a matter of counting votes, but rather a complex system of checks and balances that ensures that the will of the majority is tempered by the protection of individual rights.

Overall, ""John Locke and the Doctrine of Majority-Rule"" provides a comprehensive analysis of Locke's political philosophy and its relevance to modern democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
