Utrum Horum? The Government; Or The Country? is a political treatise written by Dennis O'Bryen and published in 1796. The title of the book refers to a Latin phrase meaning which of the two? and poses the question of whether the government or the country should have more power and influence.In the book, O'Bryen argues that the government has become too powerful and is infringing on the rights and freedoms of the people. He advocates for a more decentralized system of government that gives more power to local communities and individuals.O'Bryen also discusses the concept of natural rights, arguing that these rights are inherent to all individuals and cannot be taken away by the government. He believes that the government's role should be limited to protecting these natural rights and ensuring the safety and security of its citizens.Throughout the book, O'Bryen uses historical examples and philosophical arguments to support his ideas. He also addresses contemporary issues such as the French Revolution and the role of the British government in international affairs.Overall, Utrum Horum? The Government; Or The Country? is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and political theorists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
