“ALL speculations concerning forms of government bear the impress, more or less exclusive, of two conflicting theories respecting political institutions ; or, to speak more properly, conflicting conceptions of what political institutions are.”
John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 – 8 May 1873), usually cited as J. S. Mill, was a British philosopher, political economist, and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century", Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control. **Source**: [John Stuart Mill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill) on Wikipedia.
