  The Prosecutor of Kings: John Cooke

  Aug 10, 202630 min

  John Cooke was the English lawyer who dared to prosecute Charles I for tyranny, treason, and bloodshed. In an age when kings claimed to rule by divine right, Cooke argued that even the monarch stood beneath the law. John Cooke, though largely forgotten by history, established one of the most dangerous ideas in political history: rulers can be judged by the people they govern. Hosted on Acast.

  The American Founding Fathers did not stumble into liberty by sheer instinct. To understand their world, we must immerse ourselves in their libraries filled with Roman history, biblical texts, Locke, Cato’s Letters , Montesquieu, and Plutarch. This episode explores the reading habits that shaped the American Revolution and asks what it would mean today to recover that tradition. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
