Edwin Bronner first introduces us to William Penn with a brief review of his history, his accomplishments, and his major contributions. As Bronner notes, Penn holds a permanent place in American history as a leading advocate of religious toleration, civil liberty and representative government.The pamphlet then presents three of William Penn's major contributions in the realm of politics and government: The People's Ancient and Just Liberties, Preface to the First Frame of Government, Plan for a Union of the Colonies, and one of Penn's major writings, An Essay Towards the Peace of Europe.
