The common thread through that long story is the theory of natural law. Growing out of Greek political thought, especially that of Aristotle, natural law became a major tenet of Stoic philosophy during the Hellenistic age and later became attached to Roman legal doctrine. It underwent several transformations during the Middle Ages on the Continent and in England, especially in the thought of John Locke, before it came to justify a theory of natural right, claimed by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence as the basis of the \"unalienable rights\" of Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Ford Wiltshire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806124644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806124643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.82w x 0.96d","brand":"Susan Ford Wiltshire","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926247276799,"sku":"9780806124643","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8ae20db8-b0e1-4f51-a6b8-6df6fa4f8f3d.jpg?v=1681082016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greece-rome-and-the-bill-susan-ford-wiltshire-9780806124643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
