Text of the page (random words):
ney states in his discourses concerning government that general consent is the ground of all just governments furthermore sidney believed that civil government should have limited jurisdiction he said the only ends for which governments are constituted and obedience rendered to them are the obtaining of justice and protection this suggests a limited civil government whose primary purpose is to 1 render legal justice through its court system and 2 provide for the safety of its citizens we can also conclude from sidney that if a government fails to accomplish these basic components obedience to that government is no longer required sidney s discourses concerning government along with locke s two treatises on government are recognized as critical works in the founding of the united states of america the founding fathers read and studied these works during their years as students in the early colonial universities thomas jefferson in particular is known to have heavily studied and researched the works of locke and sidney the discourses concerning government has been called the textbook of the american revolution 3 legacy edit after his death sidney was revered as the whig patriot hero and martyr 1 burnet said of sidney a man of the most extraordinary courage a steady man even to obstinacy sincere but of a rough and boisterous temper that could not bear contradiction but would give foul language upon it he seemed to be a christian but in a particular form of his own he thought it was to be like a divine philosophy in the mind but he was against all public worship and every thing that looked like church he was stiff to all republican principles and such an enemy to every thing that looked like monarchy that he set himself in a high opposition against cromwell when he was made protector he had indeed studied the history of government in all its branches beyond any man i ever knew 12 sidney s influence on political thought in eighteenth century britain and colonial america was probably second only to that of john locke among seventeenth century political theorists 1 in his study of political theory in britain from 1689 to 1720 j p kenyon said that sidney s discourses were certainly much more influential than locke s two treatises 15 the poet james thomson in his poem the seasons praised sidney as the british cassius the hero warmed by ancient learning to the enlightened love of ancient freedom 16 sidney s reputation suffered a blow when sir john dalrymple published his memoirs of great britain and ireland in 1771 which exposed him as a pensioner of louis xiv 17 dalrymple who had greatly admired sidney wrote that he would hardly feel more shame if he had seen his own son run away from a battle the whig mp charles james fox described sidney and lord russell as two names that will it is hoped be ever dear to every english heart and predicted that when their memory shall cease to be an object of respect and veneration english liberty will be fast approaching its final consummation 18 sidney had a significant effect on the american conception of liberty he was a hero of john trenchard and thomas gordon the best read and most widely regarded pamphleteers of prerevolutionary times in their 1720 1723 essays cato s letters they adopted sidney s argument that free men always have the right to resist tyrannical government those essays in turn inspired the name of the modern libertarian think tank the cato institute 19 thomas jefferson believed sidney and locke to be the two primary sources for the founding fathers view of liberty 20 john adams wrote to jefferson in 1823 on the subject of sidney i have lately undertaken to read algernon sidney on government as often as i have read it and fumbled it over it now excites fresh admiration i e wonder that this work has excited so little interest in the literary world as splendid an edition of it as the art of printing can produce as well for the intrinsic merit of the work as for the proof it brings of the bitter sufferings of the advocates of liberty from that time to this and to show the slow progress of moral philosophical and political illumination in the world ought to be now published in america 20 the whig historian thomas babington macaulay said of sidney in 1828 never was there less of national feeling among the higher orders than during the reign of charles the second that prince on the one side thought it better to be the deputy of an absolute king than the king of a free people algernon sidney on the other hand would gladly have aided france in all her ambitious schemes and have seen england reduced to the condition of a province in the wild hope that a foreign despot would assist him to establish his darling republic 21 but in 1848 macaulay wrote of the whig opposition to charles ii it would be unjust to impute to them the extreme wickedness of taking bribes to injure their country on the contrary they meant to serve her but it is impossible to deny that they were mean and indelicate enough to let a foreign prince pay them for serving her among those who cannot be acquitted of this degrading charge was one man who is popularly considered as the personification of public spirit and who in spite of some great moral and intellectual faults has a just claim to be called a hero a philosopher and a patriot it is impossible to see without pain such a name in the list of the pensioners of france yet it is some consolation to reflect that in our time a public man would be thought lost to all sense of duty and of
