Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the historical development of government through the evolution of departments within the English monarchy, from the Norman Conquest to the establishment of a recognizable Civil Service in the 19th century. It shows that prior to the 19th century, the concept of government as an organized structure for the well-being of the citizens was almost entirely absent. Instead, government was, for the most part, the management of the King's affairs by the King's personal servants. Departments began to take shape as the monarchy became more powerful. The Exchequer, which has existed since the Norman Conquest, was the first department to be formed as a response to the need for a more organized system to manage the King's revenue. Over time, departments slowly formed around other functions such as the Secretaryship, the King's communication with the nobility, the Privy Council, and the military. The author argues that the development of these departments, which gave rise to entities like the Admiralty, the War Office, and the Treasury, was a natural response to the need for a more organized, less personality-driven, system of governance. The author traces how these departments gradually shifted from being mere adjuncts of the royal household to having an independent existence and eventually, a recognizable and permanent civil service, something that would not be seen until the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780243180301_0
