Synopsis

This book is an analysis of the British and French constitutions by their author, who believes that every society can choose its own government and reform or change it for another. The author explores the theories of government, particularly the social contract and the rights of man, and concludes that the best form of government is one that most effectively secures those rights. The author argues that the British constitution, with its monarchy, House of Lords, and House of Commons, provides such protection, and has given its citizens more liberty and security than any other people in history. However, the author notes that no human institution is perfect, and the British constitution is no exception. However, the author believes the constitution, if preserved, is strong enough to withstand changes and is resilient enough to prevent oppression, while providing security and prosperity for the people it governs.
