Synopsis

A concise account of the theory and practice of the English government. This book explains how England has built a constitutional system with limited state power, guided by law and public opinion, and with a distinct unwritten element that shapes daily governance.

From the Crown’s roles and prerogatives to the functioning of Parliament, it surveys how authority is exercised and checked in practice. It frames the English system by its history, its key institutions, and the balance between tradition and reform that keeps the government responsive and stable.

• How the Crown, the Parliament, and the Cabinet interact in lawmaking and governance.


• How the two Houses—Lords and Commons—shape legislation and policy.


• The evolution of cabinet government and the principles that guide collective responsibility.


• Context on reforms, controversies, and the steady development of English constitutional practice.

Ideal for readers seeking an accessible overview of England’s approach to constitutional government and its practical workings in modern governance.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

American readers a concise account of the theory and practice of the English government. An effort has been made to present within reasonable compass a description of the actual working of the English government with some reference to its history and theory. In the preparation of the book the writer has had the benefit of the advice and criticisms of several scholars both in England and in the United States. There are a few, however, to whom special acknowledgments are due. Mr. Alfred Fellows and Mr. Henry Smyth, of Birmingham, England, and Professor Emma Mont. Mc Rae, of Purdue University, read the entire manuscript, and made many valuable suggestions and corrections both as to form and content. Professor George H. Emmott, of University College, Liverpool, read the manuscript of the earlier chapters, and gave the writer the benefit of his comprehensive historical and legal knowledge of English institutions. Mr. E. W. Kemmerer, of Purdue University, has also rendered a very valuable service by reading the proof-sheets of the entire book. T. F. MORAN, Lafayette, I nd., October,

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
