The politics in general is great. It was a ground breaking piece of political science that laid the foundations for political study later down the road. Nearly every great political theory up until the 20th century is captured in the treaty. Marxists will love the historical materialism, conservatives will love the mandatory separation of society's undesirables from the public sphere, liberals will love the allusions to public education and the wavering between democracy and aristocracy as the need arises, the Church will confuse the role of virtue as an aim of the state to one in which they are somehow the sole arbitrators of the social/political world....and the list goes on. It's got something for everybody to enjoy- except the anarchists, they won't like it very much. To the barricades then comrades! ( )
