No Duty to Obey the State: Reply to Barnett

I appreciate professor Barnett’s comments on my review of his book, Restoring the Lost Constitution. My analysis of his book, however, remains the same: in the long run, his constitutional system would threaten, rather than advance, liberty. I also reject his idea that one can have a duty to obey the state, and do not share his approval of the imposition of the United States Constitution around the world.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
