The Problem of Political Authority: An Examination of the Right to
Coerce and the Duty to Obey
by Michael Huemer
The state is often ascribed a special sort of authority, one that
obliges citizens to obey its commands and entitles the state to
enforce those commands through threats of violence. This book argues
that this notion is a moral illusion: no one has ever possessed that
sort of authority.
