The Putney Debates, 1647


The Putney Debates, 1647
 
Col. Rainsborough’s famous appeal for democratic rights:

” I think it’s clear, that every man that is to live under a government ought first by his own consent to put himself under that government; and I do think that the poorest man in England is not bound in a strict sense to that government that he hath not had a voice to put himself under.”
