"A Theologico-Political Treatise [Part IV]" by Benedictus de Spinoza is a late 17th-century philosophical work that seeks to understand how governments are formed, what rights people have, and how religion and government should interact. The book explains that even under a ruler, people still have personal rights. People come together to form a government to protect themselves, and this section introduces the main ideas about power, divine laws, the authority of the leader, and the rights of people in both politics and religion, using historical examples like the Hebrew republic along the way.
