Abstract

In his De jure Magistratuum, Theodoro Beza (1519 - 1605), J. Calvino's successor to the leadership of the Reformed Church, deals with the burning issue of whether or not the legitimate prince could be opposed. Beza believes that the original agreement between the governor and the governed matches with the original agreement or al­liance entered into by God with the people and that it has the covenant between Moses and Jehovah as a model. The principle of loyalty, grounded in feudal law, becomes the substitution for the reciprocal declaration of wills in the modern contractual system. This interpretation, given by Beza, helped maintain the French Huguenots' submis­sion to the Monarchy and hampered the breaking up of the Kingdom of France.
