The Right of Magistrates is a 1574 work written by Theodore Beza and published anonymously as by "those from Magdeburg of 1550," a polemical contribution to the pamphlet literature of the French Wars of Religion. It protested against French state tyranny in religious matters and affirmed the resistance theory that it is legitimate for a people to oppose an unworthy magistracy in a practical manner, using weapons and deposing them if necessary.
