Reflexions on the Expediency of Increasing the Present Number of the Representatives of the People - Softcover
Synopsis
This book examines the political mechanisms of the British parliamentary system during a period of significant social and economic change. The author begins by outlining the original purpose and evolution of parliament, specifically its role in checking the power of the monarchy. They then examine how parliamentary reform became a pressing issue in the late 18th century, with the system increasingly seen as corrupt and unrepresentative. The author argues that the interests of the Crown and those of the people had diverged, and that reform was necessary to restore balance to the system. The author proposes a specific plan for parliamentary reform, involving the creation of new constituencies and the removal of some of the smaller and more easily influenced boroughs. They argue that this would reduce the influence of the Crown and increase the representation of the people, leading to a more just and effective government.
