Inhaltsangabe

A detailed defense of England's current constitutional settlement and the Protestant succession.

This edition presents a historical argument in favor of the existing framework that places the Crown within an established, Parliament-driven order. It weighs claims of hereditary right against the practical authority of statutes and elected representatives, aiming to show why the present succession safeguards liberties and the nation’s Protestant tradition.

• Explains how Parliament and law shaped the succession after the Revolution and beyond.
• Analyzes key events, acts, and precedents that define the rightful line of succession.
• Explores distinctions between hereditary claims and the authority of the state to govern.
• Considers how the settlement protects church and national interests while limiting monarchial power.
