About this title

Synopsis

""The Difference Between An Absolute And Limited Monarchy: As It More Particularly Regards The English Constitution"" is a book written by John Fortescue in 1719. The book explores the differences between absolute monarchy and limited monarchy, and how these concepts relate to the English Constitution. Fortescue argues that the English Constitution is a limited monarchy, meaning that the power of the monarch is constrained by laws and institutions such as Parliament and the courts. He also discusses the historical evolution of the English Constitution, and how it has developed over time to become a model of limited monarchy. The book is considered an important work in the field of constitutional law and political theory, and has been influential in shaping the understanding of the English Constitution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
