Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on Slavery The true state of the case appears to be this. From the condition in which human nature now is, some kind of civil authority is necessary. But it is necessary only as a means of averting evils and procuring benefits. It is to be a terror to evil doers and a praise to them that do well. If this object be not secured, the obligation to submit to it ceases. All attempt therefore to prove by these passages the duty of an absolute and unconditional submission to civil authority, however tyrannical and 0p pressive, is tutile.
