The Rights of Magistrates over Their Subjects

Theodore Beza was one of the most influential figures in all of American politics. His treatise, The Rights of Magistrates over Their Subjects, continues to have repercussions in American politics even today. His writings were shaped by both Calvinist and Lutheran ideals, as well as a biblical belief in the God as the only supreme King. Both religiously and politically charged, this is a groundbreaking and pivotal work.
