The Budget Opened: Or, an Answer to a Pamphlet Intitled, a Letter From a Member of Parliament to His Friends in the County, Concerning the Duties on Wine and Tobacco (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a response to an 18th-century proposal to introduce excise taxes to Great Britain and concerns a matter of grave national importance, the infringement of long-held rights and freedoms long enjoyed by the British people. The author takes a strong stance against the proposal, arguing that it would give too much power to the Crown and remove the rights of people to be tried by a jury of their peers. The book is a fascinating insight into 18th-century British politics and the development of the nation's ideas about its constitution and the nature of its freedoms. Its insights into the importance of individual liberty and the dangers of excessive government power are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published.
