Synopsis

Expose the clash between Parliament, the Crown, and the East India Company, and why it matters to Britain’s future.

This is a historical pamphlet arguing that the conduct of the East India Company threatens democratic rights, the national purse, and the balance of power in government. It presents arguments about ministerial power, parliamentary authority, and the consequences of corporate control abroad for home politics.

• Learn how the author portrays tyranny and oppression by Company officials and the impact on local rulers and merchants.
• See the claimed link between overseas policy, debt, and the health of public finances.
• Understand the role of parliamentary committees and reports in exposing abuse and calling for accountability.
• Compare the envisioned limits of royal prerogative with the protections offered by an independent Commons.

Ideal for readers interested in political history, 18th‑century reforms, or debates over Parliament’s powers and corporate influence.
