The third part focuses on the practical application of these principles, including the structure of government, the administration of justice, and the protection of individual rights.Throughout the book, Herkless draws on examples from history and contemporary politics to illustrate his arguments. He also engages with the work of other political theorists, including John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Jeremy Bentham.Jurisprudence or The Principles of Political Right is a seminal work in the field of political theory and jurisprudence.
