Jacquerie,

Getting back to you after a month. Wanted to thank you for introducing the 17th century Algernon Sidney.

Wikiquotes has a few great quotes of his. And I’ll note that his is one pundit who was executed for his writings by the English King.

I highly recommend reading his Discourses. He's easier to read than Alexander Hamilton.

His lay knowledge of the Bible is incredible, and he used biblical references to refute authoritarian regimes of all sorts . . . including the so-called Divine Right of Kings.

Our Framers highly respected Sidney, the martyr for liberty.

I wrote a few posts about this incredible man and his times at my blog.

Yeah. I like Sidney. Like the Federalist Papers, Sidney should be in every AP high school civics class.
