Hellenic Nomarchy proclaims that society must be governed by laws established by common agreement of the people and that the establishment and preservation of liberty requires a Nomarchic form of government.
Although this term was uncommon in the Greek literature of that time, it is used as an alternative term of democracy.
The intent of Hellenic Nomarchy was to show that the sole power and authority of the "law" (Greek: Νόμος, romanized: Nomos) could only be established through democracy.
In this spirit, the author was following the principles stressed by ancient Greek literature and philosophy concerning the subject.
The work also argues that Greeks should not have any leader other than their own laws.
This principle follows from the works of Rigas Feraios, who stressed in his Revolutionary Manifesto, some years before, that law is the supreme master of men.
Feraios also praised democracy as the most successful system of government.

The anonymous author dedicates his work to the activist and author Rigas Feraios and condemns the feudal behavior of the Greek clergy.
Moreover, he advocates the transition to a new economic structure based upon small agricultural producers and craftsmen.
By applying the physiocratic principles, he argued that peasants were society's backbone, or as he put it, "the column of society".
However, the author argued that because of number of external factors, such as feudalism and state intervention, they had a very low living standard.
The main references in the book are to the ancient Greek philosophical works, although the influence of contemporary European thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Voltaire is obvious in the author's endeavor to describe a "fair and humane" society.
On the other hand, when it comes to the struggle for national liberation he turns to the moral greatness of ancient Greece in order to stimulate collective pride and to describe models of heroism and patriotism:
Moreover, Hellenic Nomarchy points to the ongoing successful struggle of the Serbs against the Ottoman rule, which began in 1804.
The author states that the Orthodox clergy was holding back the national aspirations of the Greek people, while the educated and dynamic elements of Greek society and the mercantile diaspora should return to Greece and join the movement of national liberation.
