  Mises Economics Blog: More on Algernon Sydney
Sydney, who opposed King Charles II for overstepping his powers, was put to death for treason in 1683, after a trial that blatantly violated his rights as an Englishman and trampled any semblance of justice.
Sydney also inspired those American colonists most determined to defend their rights and liberties, particularly his most radical claim of a right to revolution to counter a king that exceeded his legal authority.
In Discourses Concerning Government, Algernon Sydney began with the purpose of "proving the natural, universal liberty of mankind." But he saw that it was not enough to just focus on the logic of liberty while liberty was being eroded in fact.
