Algernon Sidney (1623-1663) was an English political theorist, Colonel of the Army, Member of Parliament and Ambassador to the Baltics. He opposed the execution of Charles I, but was later charged with treason against Charles II and himself executed.
His treatise Discourses Concerning Government was published posthumously in 1698 and became a crucial text for the American Revolution.
