Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Constitution The great nobles of the Norman and early Angevin times would, if they could, have reduced the king to the position of a feudal overlord, cut off from direct authority over the mass of the people by intervening grades of feudal order. That they failed to do so was due to the fact that the anglo-saxon period had taught the English freeman to regard the king as a national officer, and that William the Conqueror and Henry I. Had the sagacity to recognize and encourage this feeling. As a result, an informal alliance between the crown and the people grew up. When the chartered towns began to develop a local political life based not on land but on trade and industry, it was to the crown that they turned for support. But it was not through any wish of their own that the Com mons began to play a part in national affairs, but because the crown called them in to redress the balance of feudal oligarchy. Throughout the Middle Ages political representation was regarded as a burden rather than a privilege. It was Edward i.'s supreme title to greatness that he recognized that the feudal expression of the idea of govern ment by consent must give place to the national. In the writs Of summons to the Model Parliament of 1295, he re asserted the fundamental principle of the Old Teutonic assembly that common danger should be met by means devised in common.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Constitution I have tried to write a Constitutional History that shall be intelligible to any one who knows the outlines of English history. Constitutional issues are likely to be more rather than less prominent in the near future, and I should like to hope that this sketch of the development of our political institutions may lead some of those who read it to a more detailed study of our Constitutional system. I have added a bibliography which, while not pretending to be exhaustive, includes most of the books likely to be of service to students. In the effort to bring the story down to our own times I have been obliged to touch on some controversial matters, but I have tried to deal with them as a historian, not as a partisan.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Constitution, and Other Political Essays There is a great difficulty in the way of a writer who attempts to sketch a living Constitution - a Constitution that is in actual work and power. The difficulty is that the object i in constant change. An historical writer does not feel this difficulty: he deals only with the past; he can say definitely, the Constitution worked in such and such a manner in the year at which he begins, and in a manner in such and such respects different in the year at which he ends; he begins with a definite point of time and ends with one also. But a. Contemporary writer who tries to paint what is before him is puzzled and perplexed; what he sees is changing daily. He must paint it as it stood at some one time, or else he will be putting side by side in his representations things which never were con temporaneous in reality.
