Synopsis

Exploring a practical path to a unified empire Discover the arguments for adapting existing institutions to create a workable Imperial Federation, designed to respect Parliament’s sovereignty while giving the colonies a voice.

This edition presents a concrete plan for federating the self-governing parts of the empire through a united executive. It argues for gradual, constitutional changes that avoid revolution and keep Parliament at the center of power, while enabling colonial ministers to influence imperial policy.

• How an Imperial Cabinet might blend Britain and colonial administrations into a single governing body.


• Ways to balance voting power between the United Kingdom and its colonies as populations and revenues grow.


• Fiscal and defense ideas, including how colonies could contribute to imperial costs without surrendering autonomy.


• Potential impacts on trade, currency, and the authority over common imperial interests.

Ideal for readers interested in imperial history, constitutional reform, and proposals for federation across the British Empire.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
