Synopsis
Political Letters, Written In March And April M.DCC.LXXXIV by Sir William Meredith is a sequence of political letters that scrutinize the nature and danger of secret influence in government and the growth of exclusive cabinets. The author discusses the implications for constitutional liberty, arguing that government must rely on open, accountable advice shared among the crown, ministers, and Parliament. He surveys historical episodes—from Edward I and Richard II, through the Cabal of Charles II, to the Revolution—illustrating how clandestine influence and cabal government threaten the balance of power among the Crown, Lords, and Commons. Meredith defends the right of peers and the House of Commons to advise and impeach, and argues that the crown should remain the fountain of honors while preserving the independence of the three estates. The letters also critique the modern system of ministerial patronage and public debt, advocating for reforms including a sinking fund and restrained royal patronage. Drawing on political philosophy and history, the text champions constitutional checks and public accountability as the safeguard of liberty.
