About this title

Synopsis

""A Defense of the View of the English Constitution, with Respect to the Sovereign Authority of the Prince and the Allegiance of the Subject"" is a book written by William Higden in 1710. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive defense of the English Constitution, particularly with regard to the authority of the monarch and the loyalty of the citizens. Higden argues that the English Constitution is based on the principles of liberty and the rule of law, and that the authority of the monarch is limited by these principles. He also argues that the allegiance of the subject is based on a mutual agreement between the monarch and the people, and that this agreement is based on the protection of individual rights and freedoms. The book is a significant contribution to the debate on the English Constitution and remains an important text for scholars of political theory and constitutional law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
