Spooner is a libertarian anarchist, but unfortunately he makes a really dull argument throughout this book, essentially that the constitution is invalid unless 100% of people physically sign their names to it in every generation. This is the kind of formal and legalistic argument that gets Sovereign Citizens and others laughed out of court or tased on the street. While there is some reasonable philosophical argument about the legitimacy of states, territorial monopolies, etc,, the way he makes this argument is less than useless — it generally lowers the stature of libertarianism overall.
He wrote the book/pamphlets in the immediate aftermath of the civil war, so the arguments about treason with respect to the South do make sense, but there are far better ways to make this case.
Probably still worth skimming as a historical document but overrated.… (altro)
