The tension between executive prerogative in times of emergency and
the importance of maintaining and preserving the rule of law has
been a perennial concern for modern democratic states. The Lockean
Commonwealth reappraises John Locke's contribution to this timely
topic. By paying careful attention to the arguments put forward in
Locke's famous Two Treatises on Government, Ross J. Corbett
advances a new interpretation of Locke's political agenda, one that
argues that the interplay between "prerogative" and "legislative
supremacy" formed the axis around which turned the practical
component of Locke's political theory. With a firm grasp of Locke's
historical context, Corbett is able to show how Locke's attempts to
balance these competing interests provides insight, not only into
the development of the liberal democratic state, but also into
questions that trouble us to this day and into questions of
political life more generally.
