A Concise View Of The Constitution Of England - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

How did England balance crown, parliament, and the people's rights long before modern democracy took shape? Power, liberty, and law collide in George Custance's A Concise View of the Constitution of England, a lucid english constitutional law treatise from the heart of georgian era England politics. Written in the early nineteenth century, it sets out the framework of the 19th century british constitution, tracing the relations between parliament and monarchy in England and clarifying the legal foundations behind the rights of English subjects and the evolution of british civil liberties history. At once a classic political philosophy text and a historical british law handbook, Custance's work bridges legal doctrine and political thought in a style accessible to general readers yet rigorous enough to serve as a reference for law students and a resource for history scholars. Readers of Bagehot and fans of Blackstone commentaries will recognise here a kindred attempt to make England's mixed constitution intelligible, ordered, and alive on the page. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
