Richard Tuck traces the history of the distinction between
sovereignty and government and its relevance to the development of
democratic thought. Tuck shows that this was a central issue in the
political debates of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and
provides a new interpretation of the political thought of Bodin,
Hobbes and Rousseau. Integrating legal theory and the history of
political thought, he also provides one of the first modern
histories of the constitutional referendum, and shows the
importance of the United States in the history of the referendum.
The book derives from the John Robert Seeley Lectures delivered by
Richard Tuck at the University of Cambridge in 2012, and will
appeal to students and scholars of the history of ideas, political
theory and political philosophy.
