The first part of this essay deals with the fundamental concepts of political science: what politics is -- its subject & its purpose; the nature of human beings as social or political (symbiotic) beings; the nature of authority & law in the function of maintaining & developing people's natural sociability in the political community. The second part looks into the character of political community or state as a universal symbiotic community, as a community of communities (particular public associations, towns, & provinces, which are communities of simple & private associations -- the families of associations). The author analyzes the definition of the universal symbiotic community (which the author calls a kingdom or at times a republic), the right to sovereignty (ius majestatis), or the right of supreme authority (ius regni), that inalienably belongs to the people or the entire political body.
