"This book discusses morality, politics, and philosophy and describes how the three subjects are intertwined. The author begins with preliminary considerations, covering topics such as the law of honor, the law of the land, the moral sense, etc. The author then discusses moral obligation (i.e. the definition of "obligation" and the necessity of general rules); relative duties (i.e. duties in relation to property law, charity, and slavery); duties to ourselves (i.e. the right to self-defense); duties towards God (i.e. prayer and the use of Scripture); and elements of political knowledge (i.e. civil liberties, crimes and punishments, war, and military establishments)."
