About this book

In a time of intense debate over individual liberties and government authority, "No Treason, Vol. VI.: The Constitution of No Authority" by Lysander Spooner challenges the very foundation of constitutional legitimacy. Spooner contends that the Constitution, often hailed as a protector of unalienable rights, fails to bind future generations, rendering it an ineffective contract. He provocatively questions the Second Amendment's implications, asserting that true freedom cannot be legislated. This thought-provoking essay invites students, civic activists, and historians to critically assess the nature of authority and the role of government in safeguarding personal liberties. Engage with Spooner's radical ideas and explore the implications of a constitution that may not hold the authority it claims.
