Synopsis
The Government Of England: Its Structure And Its Development by William Edward Hearn examines the English constitution as an organic, law-based system inseparable from the common law, with sovereignty vested in the Crown but bounded and channelled by Parliament, ministers, and the judiciary. It presents a developmental narrative in which history moves from absolute prerogative toward a constitutional order grounded in law and parliamentary governance. The work surveys how the King’s will is legally expressed through established offices and procedures, and how the Crown’s power is exercised within the framework of law, accountability, and public institutions. Chapters cover the Kingship, the legal expression of royal will in legislation, judicature, and administration, illustrating the gradual tightening of legal controls on prerogative, the rise of ministerial responsibility, and parliamentary oversight. Drawing on medieval and early-modern episodes, it analyzes representation, constitutional checks, and the evolution of cabinet government. The text blends constitutional theory with legal history and case studies to map England’s enduring constitutional organism.
