About This Book
Originally translated and edited by Thomas Jefferson, this treatise provides a rigorous critique of Montesquieu’s political theory. Destutt de Tracy argues against monarchical government in favor of representative democracy and a laissez-faire economic order. The work was first published in the United States in 1811 due to political censorship in Napoleonic France.
