The theory of politics, which has possessed the mind of men, and which they have expressed the best they could in their laws and in their revolutions, considers persons and property as the two objects for whose protection government exists.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Politics (1844)
Politics (1844), by Ralph Waldo Emerson details the author's views of the transitory nature of political institutions. Emerson's approach to politics championed democracy and individualism, Moreover, as a consequence of his transcendental beliefs, Emerson argued that the role of government would diminish as man's character evolves.
