This thought-provoking book examines the concept of political connection and the tension between the rights of states and their allegiance to a central authority throughout history. It argues that the American Revolution was rooted in a belief in the inherent right of self-determination and the pursuit of a just and humane society. The author traces the development of political thought on this subject from the Reformation era to the American Revolution, examining the ideas of such influential figures as Luther, Calvin, and Locke. Drawing on the Declaration of Independence, the book analyzes the principles of human equality, consent of the governed, and the role of law in establishing a truly just society. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the ongoing struggle to balance local autonomy with the need for cooperation and unity in a complex and interconnected world, making it a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the foundations of modern democracy.
