Description:

In 1838, the House of Lords debated the question of whether, in a democratic society, a man can be obliged to serve in the armed forces against his conscience. Whately decisively refuted the idea that it should be possible for an individual to claim exemption from military service without regard to his own personal convenience. First published in 1836, this text contains Whately's famous address, delivered before the House of Lords on December 17th 1838 with appendices relating to conscientious objectors in modern times. It applies to individuals as well as to communities and addresses the issue of conscientious objection to compulsory military service.
