The spirit of laws / by Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu : On the origin of inequality : On political economy : The social contract / by Jean Jacques Rousseau
Montesquieu, Charles de Secondat baron de 1689-1755
One of the landmark works of the eighteenth century, De L'Esprit des Lois had an immeasurable influence on jurisprudence and political thought, especially in America. It contained provocative and wide-ranging ideas on the sociology of law, the separation of political powers and the need for checks on a powerful executive office. First published in Geneva in 1748, it remains one of the most significant studies of political and legal theory ever written.
