A few that I would suggest are:
The Republic - Plato
Politics – Aristotle
Leviathan - Hobbs
The Prince - Machiavelli
Two Treatises on Government – John Locke **
On the Social Contract - Jean Jacque Rousse
The Federalist - Publius
The Anti-Federalist - Various
Constitution of Liberty – F.A. Hayek
Economics in One Lesson – Henry Hazlitt **
Communist Manifesto – Karl Marx and Engels **
The Road to Serfdom – F.A. Hayek
Man, Economy, and State - Rothbard
**These are easy too read, so if you're just looking for a breif understanding these are a good place to start.
