Law and Conscience

<p>In Law and Conscience Edward Swaine addresses the complex relationship between legal obligations and individual moral beliefs specifically concerning the duty of dissenters in relation to church taxes. This work is presented as a rejoinder to advice offered in the 'Eclectic Review' critiquing perspectives attributed to Sir Robert Peel. </p> <p>Swaine delves into the ethical considerations surrounding compliance with laws that may conflict with one's conscience offering a perspective rooted in the principles of religious freedom and individual liberty. This book provides insight into historical debates concerning the separation of church and state and the rights of those who dissent from established religious norms. It remains relevant for understanding ongoing discussions about civil rights and the responsibilities of citizens within a pluralistic society.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
