Bibliographic note
This was one of a specially commissioned set of chapters to commemorate the 450th anniversary of the execution of Charles I. It explores the philosophy of regicide and republicanism by redressing the balance of studies away from the Polybian, tripartite 'checks and balances' approach to political philosophy and onto the more Scriptually-inspired balance of scales, in which authority, power and representativeness are 'weighed in the balances'.
