No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority

In "No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority," Lysander Spooner challenges the very foundations of American governance with piercing intellect. Written in 1867, this compelling collection of essays—specifically "No. 1," "The Constitution," and "No. 6: The Constitution of No Authority"—examines the legitimacy of the U.S. Constitution and questions its authority over individuals who did not explicitly consent to it. Published on September 6, 2020, this book delves deep into themes of criminal justice reform, economic justice, and voting rights, making it a critical read for those in adult education programs seeking to understand the intersection of law and personal sovereignty. Spooner's arguments prompt readers to reflect on current social justice issues and the historical context of legal constraints, urging a reconsideration of what authority governments should have over citizens. This book is an essential tool for anyone passionate about dissecting the layers of legal and moral obligations that shape societies.
