Abstract
The article focuses on Josiah Warren's vision of anarchism and individual sovereignty, rooted in the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Warren, influenced by Robert Owen's communal experiment in New Harmony, Indiana, ultimately critiques collectivism for undermining individual liberty and natural rights. He argues that true civilization can only be achieved through voluntary associations and equitable property relations, which empower individuals to govern themselves without coercion. The text highlights Warren's belief that the principles of individual sovereignty and natural rights are essential for a just society, contrasting his views with those of contemporary political structures, particularly the Constitution.
