{"product_id":"short-treatise-on-political-power-john-ponet-9781944424602","title":"Short Treatise on Political Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Ponet (ca. 1514-1556) was the Anglican Bishop of Winchester at a raucous and revolutionary time in English history. King Henry VIII had recently inaugurated the English Reformation and established the Anglican Church, staffed in part at least with emerging radicals like Ponet. When the Catholic Queen Mary I determined to roll back Protestantism, Ponet and hundreds of others fled to Europe. During his exile, Ponet wrote a \u003cem\u003eShort Treatise\u003c\/em\u003e on Political Power (1556), which argued that the people can and should punish--perhaps even execute--wicked monarchs. Ponet's tract anticipated great liberal thinkers for centuries to come. By 1776, the \u003cem\u003eShort Treatise\u003c\/em\u003e rested (well-worn) on many Patriots' bookshelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Ponet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1944424601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944424602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cato Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 4.72w x 0.18d","brand":"John Ponet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047357640959,"sku":"9781944424602","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a0e7c09-cb71-4ede-ba79-0da807ca8514.jpg?v=1684989744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/short-treatise-on-political-power-john-ponet-9781944424602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
