The Right Of The State To Be: An Attempt To Determine The Ultimate Human Prerogative On Which Government Rests

By Fred Manville Taylor

Book Overview

""The Right of the State to Be: An Attempt to Determine the Ultimate Human Prerogative on Which Government Rests"" is a philosophical treatise by F.M. Taylor that explores the fundamental question of what gives a government the right to exist. The author examines various theories of political philosophy, including natural law, social contract theory, and utilitarianism, to argue that the ultimate human prerogative on which government rests is the right to self-preservation. Taylor contends that the state has a natural right to protect itself and its citizens from harm and that this right justifies the use of force when necessary. The book also delves into the implications of this argument for issues such as individual rights, democracy, and international relations. Overall, ""The Right of the State to Be"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and legitimacy of political power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
