Written in 1689, Locke's Two Treatises of Government disputes the logic of the "divine right of kings," and proceeds to develop a theory of society base on the ideas of natural rights and the social contract. Locke acknowledged the necessity of the state, but saw it primarily as a tool to promote the protection of people and property, as well as for the restraint of violence. Based on the consent of the governed, Locke's conception of government highlights the importance of accountability between government and citizen. This special edition also includes the text of the Magna Charta - one of the foundations of English law, Locke's Letter Concerning Toleration, and The Reasonableness of Christianity.

re: Organizing America: We are what we think - both individually, and as a society. Unfortunately, many of the solutions offered to today's problems are mere panaceas that are not the result of serious deliberation. Through a variety of resources, re: Organizing America seeks to engage people in serious thought about the foundations of freedom and American culture. On this basis, it will become evident that an ordered liberty is the true solution to the majority of our contemporary challenges and allow for a dialogue offering real solutions for today's problems. Our editions are lightly edited, but unabridged, in order to make these ideas accessible to the widest possible audience.
