""The Orthocratic State: The Unchanging Principles Of Civics And Government"" is a book written by John Sherwin Crosby and published in 1915. The book explores the concept of an ideal state, which Crosby refers to as the ""Orthocratic State"". He argues that this state would be based on the principles of orthodoxy, or right belief, and democracy, or rule by the people. Crosby outlines the key features of the Orthocratic State, including a strong central government, a system of checks and balances, and a commitment to individual rights and freedoms. He also discusses the importance of education and civic engagement in maintaining a healthy democracy. Throughout the book, Crosby draws on examples from history and contemporary politics to illustrate his points. He critiques various forms of government, including monarchy, aristocracy, and socialism, and argues that the Orthocratic State represents the best possible system of governance. Overall, ""The Orthocratic State"" is a thought-provoking exploration of political theory and a call to action for citizens to engage in the democratic process.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
