Vox Populi, Vox Dei

Common card · No. 423735

Vox Populi, Vox Dei is a Whig tract of 1709, titled after a Latin phrase meaning "the voice of the people is the voice of God". It was expanded in 1710 and later reprintings as The Judgment of whole Kingdoms and Nations: Concerning the Rights, Power, and Prerogative of Kings, and the Rights, Privileges, and Properties of the People. The author is unknown but was most likely either Robert Ferguson or Thomas Harrison. There is no evidence for the persistent attribution to Daniel Defoe or John Somers as authors.
