Synopsis
What if the crown cannot act? A clear, argued look at how a Regency could work.
This edition surveys the rights and limits of royal power during a king’s minority. It contrasts the office of Regent with that of Protector and examines how parliament and historical precedents shape who may govern in times of disability.
