This thoughtful, historical treatise argues that equality among people underpins both liberty and the structure of society, offering a clear framework for understanding rights that flow from our human nature.

This edition presents the full argument about how we acquire notions of rights, the two main divisions of those rights, and the responsibilities that follow from equality. It threads together religion, civil society, and government, showing how freedom of conscience and open discussion support progress and social harmony.

See why freedom of conscience and open communication matter for society’s well‑being.
Explore the proposed balance between individual rights and lawful authority.
