This text retraces the historical implications of sovereignty and liberty, looking at how these concepts shape our lives as individuals and political beings. By examining the connection between these two forces, the book provides a fresh perspective on how we live together in organized societies. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of political thought and the legal structures that define our world.
