Critical Justification -- Notes to Chapters -- Appendix: Addendum to Chapter 7 -- Select Bibliography -- Index.In this paperback edition of a highly successful study, Professor Martin provides an original solution to one of the long-standing issues of political philosophy: the justification of political authority. The author constructs a model political system in which certain kinds of political rights are emphasized, and discusses what the implications of such a system might be for democratic institutions, political allegiance, punishment, and ultimately for the nature of authority itself.Political rightsNatural lawPolitical rights.Natural law.323/.01Martin Rex254444MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782843403321System of rights264781UNINA
