Marsilius of Padua

Born betwen 1275 and 1280 in Padua; died circa 1343 in Munich. Italian political thinker; ideologist of the urban elite.

Marsilius studied medicine, philosophy, and theology at the universities of Padua and Paris. He wrote the treatise Defender of Peace (1324, published 1522), in which he was one of the first in the Middle Ages to propose the idea of the emergence of the state as the result of a social contract. Opposing the claims of the papacy to secular power, he held that secular power was higher than spiritual. He considered the best form of government to be a monarchy in which the soveriegn’s legislative authority would be separate from his executive authority. Further, the sovereign would be limited by a governmental body drawn from the nobility, although elected by the people and subject to their recall. For his bold criticism of the papacy and open support of Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria in his struggle against Pope John XXII he was excommunicated in 1327.
