Originally published in 1870, this essay by the American anarchist and political philosopher Lysander Spooner is here reproduced. Described by Murray Rothbard as "the greatest case for anarchist political philosophy ever written", Spooner's lengthy essay is still referenced by anarchists and philosophers today. In it, he argues that the American Civil War violated the US Constitution, thus rendering it null and void. An indispensable read for political historians both amateur and professional alike. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Autorenporträt
Lysander Spooner was an American political activist, abolitionist, and legal theorist known for his influential writings on individual liberty and civil rights. Born in Massachusetts in the early 19th century, he initially worked as a lawyer and became a prominent advocate against slavery and government overreach. Spooner's most notable works include ""The Unconstitutionality of Slavery,"" where he argues that the U.S. Constitution does not support slavery and emphasizes the principles of natural law, asserting that all individuals possess inherent rights. His ideas challenged the legal and moral justifications for slavery, making him a key figure in the abolitionist movement. In addition to his abolitionist work, Spooner was a strong proponent of anarchism and individualism, criticizing both the state and organized government. His writings on these subjects contributed to libertarian thought and continue to be referenced in discussions about individual rights and government authority. Spooner's legacy lies in his unwavering commitment to justice and freedom for all individuals.
