Jus Sacrum, or, A Discourse Wherein it is Fully Prov'd and Demonstrated That no Prince Ought ot be Depriv'd of his Natural Right on Account of Religion, Etc is a treatise arguing for the separation of religious belief from the right to rule. Published in 1712, this discourse makes a powerful case that a monarch's natural right to govern should not be undermined or revoked based on their religious affiliation. It delves into the political theories surrounding divine right and the limitations of religious authority over secular governance.
This work provides valuable insight into the debates concerning religious toleration and the relationship between church and state during the early 18th century. Its enduring relevance lies in its exploration of foundational questions about the nature of political legitimacy and the limits of religious influence in the public sphere. A must-read for scholars of political science, religious history, and early modern European history.
