Henry St John Bolingbroke was a prominent Tory politician and philosopher
who became a major political propagandist in opposition to the Whig Party
led by Sir Robert Walpole. "In the late 20th century, Bolingbroke was
rediscovered by historians as a major on Voltaire, and on the American
patriots John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. Adams
said that he had read all of Bolingbroke s works at least five times; indeed,
Bolinbroke's works were widely read in the American colonies, where they
helped provide the foundation for the emerging nations devotion to
republicanism.
His vision of history as cycles of birth, growth, decline and death of republic was
influential in the colonies, as was his contention on liberty; that one is
"free not from the law, but by the law."
