Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short Letter to a Friend in the Country, Upon the Question of Reform, and the Disturbances in the Metropolis
England too the first step is taken, they will con gratulate their master on the successive s and the final despotism whith we should have to wade through and to support.
To enquire after the actual formula of the privi lege and power thus lately exercised by the House of Commons, is an investigation deeper than I have pretensions to direct; nor need I assume that there are recorded statutes to guide me. It is, at least, apower not more undefined than much of our common law: it is as venerable as any custom can be traced in its practice, nor has it ever been called forth with more necessity, or pointed with more temper and moderation than in the instances which have provoked this discussion.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written during a period of great unrest, addresses the heated debate over parliamentary reform amidst disturbances in London. The author, though sympathetic to the need for some reform, argues against the radical changes proposed by contemporary agitators. He warns that such changes would upset the delicate balance of the British constitution and could lead to despotism. The author laments the growth of party divisions in Parliament and the decline in the influence of the traditional two-party system. He also criticizes the rise of demagogues who incite the populace with inflammatory rhetoric. Through a detailed analysis of the historical context and the arguments of both sides, this book provides valuable insights into the complex political landscape of early 19th-century Britain. 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 réf. du vendeur 9781332744541_0
