Sinopsis

In this book Jean Jacques Burlamaqui [1694&ndash,1748], a Swiss jurist and professor of civil and natural law, outlined a constitutional system whose principles, such as checks and balances and judicial review, influenced the political thought of the American founding fathers. Additionally, Burlamaqui&rsquo,s discussion of happiness as a natural right probably inspired Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Blackstone was also one of many jurists influenced by Burlamaqui&rsquo,s work. Reprint of the first English edition, which became a standard work. [xlii], 312 pp.
