Lex, Rex, or, The Law and the Prince

Samuel Rutherford

Rutherford, a theologian and minister, argues that rulers are subject to the law and not above it. Previous to the authorship of Lex Rex the guiding principle was Rex Lex, the idea that kings are the law and that arbitrary rule was acceptable. After the publication of the book, Rutherford faced the charge of treason and Lex Rex was subject to book burnings. - Summary by progressingamerica
