Bodin on Sovereignty

View this presentation on Slideshare

More slides on Political Thought, now moving on to the modern period. The above slide deck is about Jean Bodin and the concept of sovereignty.

True story: I always enjoyed teaching this lesson in class if only because it allowed me to point out that sovereignty is pronounced ˈsäv(ə)rəntē, and not "sovereignity" (ˈsäv(ə)rənitē).

Cheap thrills? Sure. But if you've ever been a teacher, you'll understand.
