Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the fundamental tension between the sovereign power of the State and the sovereignty of other entities within the State, such as the Church. The author explores the historical development of this tension, beginning with medieval times, through the era of the Protestant Reformation, and up to the 19th century. Drawing on the political theory of the Disruption, a schism within the Church of Scotland, the book highlights the clash between the State's claim to absolute authority and the Church's insistence on its own spiritual autonomy. The author argues that this conflict continues to define modern politics, as States seek to assert their dominance over all aspects of society, including religion and education. The book offers valuable insights into the nature of sovereignty and the limits of State power.
