A Supplement to the Investigation of Native Rights of British Subjects (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A Supplement to the Investigation of Native Rights of British Subjects examines how English law defines a natural-born subject when a parent is attainted or a child is born abroad.
It weighs old and new statutes, and shows how courts have interpreted the balance between statutory text and common law.
The work surveys arguments about alienage, inheritance, and the effect of attainders on offspring. It reviews opinions from legal authorities to explain why a child’s right to succession can depend on the mother’s actions, the father’s status, and historical parliamentary intent. Through careful analysis, it clarifies what the law says now and how it got there.
- How common law and statute work together to define natural-born status.
- How attainder of a father can affect a child’s inheritance and allegiance.
- Interpretations of Edward III, Anne, Charles II, William III, and George II statutes.
- How legislative changes influence the rights of families across generations.
Ideal for readers of legal history and constitutional law who want a clear view of the premises and reasoning behind English xen and succession rules.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins and development of the law concerning the status of alienage in England and its historical context. The author examines the concept of "natural-born" subjects, whether by birth or by naturalization, and their rights and responsibilities under English law. The author posits that even in cases of high treason, a person's natural-born status and the rights and responsibilities associated with it could not be revoked unless an act of parliament was passed to do so. The author furthermore explores the idea of a person's allegiance to the monarchy, whether the loss of such allegiance would result in a loss of status as a natural-born subject, and whether such allegiance could be revoked by any authority outside of that of the monarch. The author concludes that, absent an act of parliament, the status of a natural-born subject is immutable and cannot be revoked by treason, attainder, or any authority outside of the Crown.
