The Second Treatise of Civil Government by John Locke
If you’ve ever wondered where Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, John Adams, and the rest of the founders got much of their political thought, take a look at Locke’s book.
In this work, Locke makes the case that monarchies should be a thing of the past, and that representative government of, by, and for the people, is the way to go. Most Americans will find that this work gives them a lot of insight into their own thinking about political life, and that’s why I recommend this one to you.
