Bodin's Six livres de la republique is a vast synthesis of comparative public law & politics the theoretical core of which is formed by the four chapters translated in this volume. These contain his celebrated theory of sovereignty which informed his thinking on the state & made his Republique a landmark in the development of European political thought. This theory however also included a seductive but erroneous thesis that was of great importance for the development of royalist ideology: the idea that sovereignty is indivisible that the entire power of the state has to be vested in a single individual or group. This thesis together with the crisis of authority in the French religious wars led Bodin to a systematically absolutist interpretation of the French & other contemporary monarchies. His primary aim was to exclude any legal ground of forcible resistance. A king of France he hoped would continue to adhere to moral & prudential limitations but a proper king he insisted could not be lawfully constrained. This is the first complete translation of these chapters into English since 1606. It is accompanied by a lucid introduction a chronology & a bibliography. ...
