Murray Rothbard. "War, Peace, and the State." Written about 1963. This link is to the Lew Rockwell website, which re-posted it in December, 2011. Notable for establishing the "fundamental axiom of libertarian theory," which is that "no one may threaten or commit violence ("aggress") against another man's person or property. Violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another."

The Law. Frederic Bastiat's classic essay, available as a PDF download from the Foundation for Economic Education. I found it helpful in understanding that tariffs, as well as slavery, were bad political practice since they violated natural law. It has been a couple of years since I read this, and I forget things, but it was eye-opening about the nature of political problems in the US, especially in the first half of the 19th century.
