The constitutional history of England

0.0 (0)

Maitland begins The Constitutional History of England at the time of the death of Edward I and completes his review with the early twentieth century. Although he sees England as sovereign, he discusses the impact Rome, Ireland, and Scotland have had on the British constitution. All the while he tells of the development of the charter in terms of its major elements: feudalism, taxation, and the role between citizens, nobility, and state. This thorough set of lectures is analytical in nature and results in a clear progression of politics.
