Before constitutions were textbooks, they were lived arguments fought in council chambers and on the floor of Parliament. In Volume II of The Parliamentary Or Constitutional History Of England, contemporary records, statutes and narratives trace the origins of British Parliament from medieval to Restoration England, revealing how monarchy, Parliament and law slowly learned to share power. These were truly formative centuries. Treaties, petitions, royal proclamations and parliamentary proceedings stand side by side, forming an English parliamentary history collection that reads as both constitutional history reference book and primary source historical anthology, essential to understanding early modern British history and the English Civil War background that reshaped the realm. Long recognised among British constitutional law classics, this research edition for historians also offers an engrossing chronicle for general readers drawn to the development of the English constitution and the personalities, crises and compromises behind it. Indispensable for legal history students, political theorists and collectors of landmark scholarship on monarchy, Parliament and law, it opens a direct route back to the debates that defined English liberty. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
