Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the need for reform in the British Parliament, discussing the history, ideas and key arguments surrounding this issue. The author, considered one of the most respected lawyers and statesmen of his time, argues for a more representative and democratic system. By tracing the history of Parliament from its origins, the book sheds light on the evolution of the institution and the reasons for its current state. The author presents a compelling case for expanding voting rights to include every Englishman with property, regardless of its amount, and for limiting the duration of parliaments to three years. He also advocates for the disenfranchisement of corrupt boroughs and the transfer of their representation to more populous areas. The book delves into the debates and controversies surrounding parliamentary reform, highlighting the arguments of both proponents and opponents. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of preserving the spirit of the British constitution while adapting it to the changing needs of society.
