Excerpt from Contribution to the British Navy: Mr. Monk's Resignation

Not to multiply authorities, Mr. Lowell's summation of them may be quoted: Another sign of the times is found in the doctrine, sanctioned by the highest authorities, that parliament cannot legislate on a new question of vital importance Without a mandate from the nation (a).

For example, the Liberal party in England declared, in 1906 that they would not use a majority obtained upon the free-trade issue in order to pass a home-rule bill; Mr. Balfour, at the election in 1910, promised that if successful, no attempt would be made to introduce tariff-reform without specific reference to the' people; and one of the principal objections to the present home-rule bill is the allegation that the electorate has never approved the proposal.
