Focusing on the theory of the state, Laski's influential first volume explores the nature of political power through historical examples, including the Catholic Revival and the formation of the German Empire. He contends that the state is not an ultimate authority but rather one of several associations vying for allegiance and obedience from the populace. This foundational work sets the stage for his later writings, expanding on the complexities of political authority and its relationship with society.
