The work comprises two tracts that explore the concepts of civil liberty and the implications of the American War for Independence, as well as the financial implications of these issues for Britain. Price delves into the philosophical underpinnings of government and the nature of liberty, emphasizing the importance of representation and consent within a just society.   The opening of this treatise presents an introduction to the fundamental arguments for civil liberty that Price aims to make. He contrasts two competing views of government: one that establishes authority through the people's consent and another that derives authority from divine right. Price articulates his belief that legitimate government must be founded on the principles of freedom and equality, where laws are a reflection of the collective will. Furthermore, he addresses the growing tensions between Britain and America, arguing that the rights and liberties of the American colonies must be acknowledged, warning that attempts to subjugate them could lead to a broader conflict that undermines the values of civil liberty he cherishes. The matters discussed set the stage for his detailed exploration of political philosophy and practical governance as the historical context unfolds.
