No Treason The Constitution of No Authority

Meer over het boek

The book presents Lysander Spooner's influential political essay, which critiques the U.S. Constitution as a violated contract, particularly in the context of the Civil War. Spooner argues that the government, through coercive policies, has failed to uphold Natural Law and the consent of the governed, rendering the Constitution void. He challenges the assumption of consent among citizens and defends former Confederate soldiers against treason charges. The pamphlet was widely circulated, highlighting Spooner's complex views on government, liberty, and individual rights.
