Originally published in 1967, these lectures delivered at The Johns Hopkins University focus attention on the historically and politically crucial distinction between the individual as a mere subject of higher authority and the individual as an autonomous and independent citizen. The author’s command of the source material enables him to show why the conception of the individual as a subject predominated in the earlier Middle Ages. He throws into clear relief the multifarious factors which brought about the emergence of the citizen as an individual taking full part in public government. Ullman’s studies demonstrated the constructive role which feudalism played in the transformation of the subject into a citizen, and in doing so throw much light on the development of English common law and set the problem of modern constitutionalism in its historical context. The book opens up entirely new perspectives in the history of political and social ideas.

I. The Abstract Thesis: The Ecclesiological and Corporational Theme of Subject and Society 2. The Practical Thesis: The Constitutional Significance of the Feudal Relationship and its Bearing on the Individual in Society 3. The Humanistic Thesis: The Emergence of the Citizen.
