The author explores how prehistoric mankind abandoned a savage state, uniting for mutual protection, forming the basis of civil society. Focusing primarily on American history and political thought, the book charts the development of individual rights, the role of law, the powers of government, and the role of the people in shaping their own governance. Themes of authority, the balance of power, and consent are considered at length. This book illuminates how societies have historically been structured and governed, and how they've evolved over time to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens.
