Description

Providing an original justification of authority by establishing a framework in rights, this book discusses the implications of such a system for democratic institutions, political allegiance, punishment, and ultimately for the nature of political authority.

Reviews

"What makes Martin's book so trenchant is that it can be read with great profit from different points of view....The broad scope and provocative arguments of Martin's work assure that it will be a focal point in philosophically-oriented debate on rights."--Ratio Juris
