Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitutional History of the House of Lords: From Original Sources Though there are many Constitutional Histories of England and Histories of Parliament, there has, it is believed, hitherto been no Constitutional History of the House of Lords. The reader in search of information could only extract it laboriously from disconnected passages in works of great length, or find it shaped as ammunition for the purposes of party warfare in political treatises. The scope of the present work is different from that held in view by such well-known historians as Hallam, May, Gneist, or Bishop Stubbs, or in the polemical essays of Prynne or Freeman. The materials used, though, to some extent, necessarily the same as those upon which they relied, have been largely drawn from other sources, and have been wrought to other ends. Statements of fact are consequently often inconsistent with those made in preceding, works on the Constitution, but the original authorities on which they rest have been indicated. It has, therefore, been thought needless to point out the variations, except in some very remarkable instances.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature and Origin of the House of Lords Ment; in every free state there must be both some kind of executive government and some kind of popular assembly. It does not follow that either need take the exact shape which they take among 0 selves, but both must exist in some shape. Without the House of Commons, or some other assembly of the same kind, there could not be freedom without the Crown or some other power to do its work, there could not be order. But it is at least conceivable that both freedom and order might go ou, although the House of Lords were abolished and no other power of any kind put in its place. In other words, the House of Lords is not practically on a level with the other two powers. The other two are essential. The House of Lords may be venerable, it may be ornamental, it may even be highly useful but it is not essential. It might be swept away and nothing put in its place without a return to chaos. If we swept away either of the other powers and did not put something else in its place, chaos would return. Something like this line of thought is silently implied in what is in itself so singular a phenomenon as the present demand for abolition or sweeping change in one of the great powers of the State, and that on the ground of a single vote which has given offence. It is not said that the vote is either illegal or unprecedented it can be called unconstitutional only in a somewhat strained sense of that flexible word. The House gives offence, and it is at once either to be de stroyed or to have its distinguishing constitution altogether changed In itself this seems somewhat hasty dealing. No doubt this one vote is in truth rather the occasion than the cause of an indignation so deeply felt. The real cause is not this vote taken by itself, but this vote coming after a long series of other votes. Yet it is certain that, up to the time of the present vote, there was no violent or outspoken popular feeling against the House of Lords. There may have been a deep or a widespread feeling; but if so, it was so deep or so wide that it did not come to the surface. We may be quite sure that, if the Lords had passed the Franchise Bill, even by a small majority, there would have been no cry for the abolition or the sweeping reform of their House, at least till they gave offence about some other matter. The cause may, and doubtless does, lie much deeper than the occasion but the occasion has at least been startling in the suddenness of the results which it has called forth.

Download or read book English Constitutional Theory and the House of Lords 1556 1832 written by Corinne Comstock Weston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1965 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1965, this work studies the House of Lords and the various proposals for its reform, abolition or limitation of its powers which have been made in the light o f prevailing theories of the nature and characteristics of the English government. The work also contains a history of the theory of mixed government that arose in Tudor England and lasted until well after the Reform Act of 1832. This history both illuminates the position of the House of Lords and also provides perspective for the study of Democracy in the movement for parliamentary reform. One of the book's most original features is an extensive account of Charles I's Answer to the Nineteen Propostions, out of which came the startling new theory of the constitution, known as "mixed monarchy".

Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
