Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the British Constitution's separation of powers safeguards public liberty. The author contends that the Revolution of 1688 established the principle that the people can't be governed without their consent, leading to the system of regularly elected parliamentary representatives who control the executive branch through the powers of the Crown. The author maintains that while the people have the ultimate right to alter or abolish the monarchy, Parliament has no right to arrogate to itself any executive functions. The text explores the implications of this for the current regency crisis, arguing that Parliament's attempt to assume executive powers is unconstitutional and dangerous to the balance of power established by the Revolution. The author concludes that the wisest course is to preserve the executive powers of the Crown intact, ensuring both the stability of the monarchy and the preservation of public liberty.
