  Amazon.co.uk: Eighteenth-Century Commonwealthman: Studies in the Transmission, Development, and Circumstance of ...
In her Introduction to The Eighteenth-Century Commonwealthman, Caroline Robbins wrote that the Commonwealthmen were "a gifted and active minority of the population of the British Isles, who kept alive, during an age of extraordinary complacency and legislative inactivity, a demand for increased liberty of conscience.".
Their essays, arguments, pamphlets, and histories -- a continual flow from the late seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth -- were hugely popular in America.
In The Eighteenth-Century Commonwealthman, Robbins adeptly presents a history of these men, whose writings advocated the principles of liberty in an era when change was considered perilous.

  John Trenchard (writer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Secretary of State, see John Trenchard (Secretary of State).
John Trenchard (1662-1723), English writer and Commonwealthman, belonged to the same Dorset family as the Secretary of State Sir John Trenchard.
As he inherited considerable wealth, Trenchard was able to devote the greater part of his life to writing on political subjects, his approach being that of a Whig and an opponent of the High Church party.

With government and religion intertwined they had their sight set on their rights.
The Commonwealthman tradition was another idea that the Colonial Americans turned to.

 Libertarian Heritage No. 11
Locke's Two Treatises reflect the abiding concerns of an age of political turmoil and social upheaval: the establishment of legitimate political authority as the foundation for peace and security, and, with it, toleration, and the rule of law.
Though the ideas expressed by Locke were not new, nor was his exposition without error, they nevertheless are representative of the commonwealthman tradition's emphasis upon the possession of resistance rights to tyranny.

 Stephen Laniel’s Unspecified Bunker
For instance, I just finished reading The Ideological Origins Of The American Revolution (and incidentally, I wrote a review of it which I mistakenly deleted), which inspired me to go on and read a few other foundational works about the United States before it was a United States.
One of these is called Eighteenth-Century Commonwealthman, which despite its wretched-sounding title sounds fascinating.
I need to learn more about the ideological foundations of this country, if only so I can get a better handle on how to approach our contemporary policy and philosophy problems.
