A Short History Of All The Parliaments Of England In All Reigns (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354444548)

From the first gatherings of nobles and clergy to the seasoned institution recognised across the world, the history of English Parliaments is the history of English power. Power never shifts by accident. A Short History Of All The Parliaments Of England In All Reigns offers a concise, contemporary voice from an earlier age, charting how assemblies, councils and Commons evolved under successive monarchs and how fragile the balance between Crown and people could be. As an english political history book, it moves reign by reign through key sessions, controversies and reforms, illuminating the evolution of British Parliament and the changing monarchy and parliament relations that shaped law, liberty and taxation. Written close enough to events to feel their heat, yet structured with the clarity of classic constitutional history, it stands as both narrative and reference: a compact history of English Parliaments for casual readers, english legal history readers and serious students alike. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal as a reference for history students and for political science research into early modern England politics, it belongs in any english parliamentary history collection and on the shelves of those who prize british constitutional development and seek out a true british political thought classic.
