The book The Power of the Sovereign, and the Duty of the Subject: Set Forth in a Sermon by Robert Pickering was published in 1712. It is a sermon that explores the relationship between the ruler (sovereign) and the ruled (subjects) in a political context. The author argues that the sovereign has the power to govern and make decisions for the benefit of the state and its citizens, but this power must be exercised with responsibility and in accordance with the laws of the land. The duty of the subject, on the other hand, is to obey the laws and support the government in its efforts to maintain order and protect the common good. The book is a reflection of the political and social climate of the time, when the power struggles between the monarchy and parliament were still ongoing. It provides a valuable insight into the political philosophy of the early 18th century and the debates surrounding the role of the state and the individual in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
