The Hereditary Right of the Crown of England Asserted (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical and legal evolution of the concept of allegiance to the ruling power in England. It begins by examining the competing claims to the English throne in the 11th century, a period of great social and political upheaval. The author traces the development of the idea that subjects owed allegiance to the reigning monarch, regardless of how they came to power. This principle, known as the "doctrine of non-resistance," was widely accepted in medieval England, but came under increasing scrutiny during the English Civil War of the 17th century. The author argues that the doctrine of non-resistance was ultimately rejected in favor of the view that subjects have a right to resist tyranny and oppression. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of English law and politics, and for anyone concerned with the relationship between the state and the individual.
