Mémoire Justificatif by Pierre-Hyacinthe Simon defends the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas on the absolute independence of sovereigns, the indissolubility of subjects' oaths, and regicide. This historical work delves into the complex political and theological debates of its time, offering a detailed justification of controversial doctrines related to the authority of rulers and the obligations of their subjects. Exploring themes of divine right, the limits of obedience, and the circumstances under which resistance might be justified, Simon provides a nuanced perspective rooted in Thomistic philosophy. This book is a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of political thought, religious influences on governance, and the intellectual foundations of sovereignty in early modern Europe.
