The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.
If professions of politicians mean anything, the triumph of Democracy in Great Britain is now assured. The proof Hes in the line of argument habitually adopted by both parties in all the great controversies of the day, and especially conspicuous throughout the constitutional crisis that culminated in the Parliament Act of 1911. A fervent and almost servile eagerness to interpret and to execute the peoples will is as persistently proclaimed by Conservatives and Liberals as by Socialists and Labour leaders. These earnest and unanimous professions must be accepted as genuine. No sincere reformer would dare to repudiate the principle now accepted as self-evident that government of the people, by the people, for the people is the sole rule of progress and humanity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1912, unpacks the evolution of Britain's democratic constitution. From humble beginnings in medieval England to the brink of what its author calls the 20th-century New Democracy, the author analyses the shifting foundations of sovereignty through the centuries. Drawing on the dominant constitutional theories of the author's time, this book probes the nature of representation, the composition and authority of the House of Commons, the relationship between taxation and representation, and the division of powers considered as a system of checks and balances. The author's arguments reveal the disjunctions between democratic theory and practice, with thought-provoking lines of inquiry into the challenges, contradictions, and evolutions of constitutional democracy that endure to this day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
