This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature and Origin of the House of Lords Ment; in every free state there must be both some kind of executive government and some kind of popular assembly. It does not follow that either need take the exact shape which they take among 0 selves, but both must exist in some shape. Without the House of Commons, or some other assembly of the same kind, there could not be freedom without the Crown or some other power to do its work, there could not be order. But it is at least conceivable that both freedom and order might go ou, although the House of Lords were abolished and no other power of any kind put in its place. In other words, the House of Lords is not practically on a level with the other two powers. The other two are essential. The House of Lords may be venerable, it may be ornamental, it may even be highly useful but it is not essential. It might be swept away and nothing put in its place without a return to chaos. If we swept away either of the other powers and did not put something else in its place, chaos would return. Something like this line of thought is silently implied in what is in itself so singular a phenomenon as the present demand for abolition or sweeping change in one of the great powers of the State, and that on the ground of a single vote which has given offence. It is not said that the vote is either illegal or unprecedented it can be called unconstitutional only in a somewhat strained sense of that flexible word. The House gives offence, and it is at once either to be de stroyed or to have its distinguishing constitution altogether changed In itself this seems somewhat hasty dealing. No doubt this one vote is in truth rather the occasion than the cause of an indignation so deeply felt. The real cause is not this vote taken by itself, but this vote coming after a long series of other votes. Yet it is certain that, up to the time of the present vote, there was no violent or outspoken popular feeling against the House of Lords. There may have been a deep or a widespread feeling; but if so, it was so deep or so wide that it did not come to the surface. We may be quite sure that, if the Lords had passed the Franchise Bill, even by a small majority, there would have been no cry for the abolition or the sweeping reform of their House, at least till they gave offence about some other matter. The cause may, and doubtless does, lie much deeper than the occasion but the occasion has at least been startling in the suddenness of the results which it has called forth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Lords Question The House Of Lords is wrong by name and wrong by nature. Even if the Second Chamber were elected by the multitude, the title Of Lords for one House and Commons for the other would be a temptation to many to be chosen for the former because Of its sounding title. If we take away from the House Of Lords its legislative functions, its judicial and deliberative functions remain. In 1873 the judicial functions were nearly annihilated. And why Should we associate the Lords any longer with the Supreme House Of Justice? That connection is in itself a great mischief. As to deliberative functions, though the Lords' House be abolished to-morrow, the debaters and Wise men, if elected, can appear in the House Of Commons, and there they can still have their vote.

Book Synopsis The House of Lords During the Civil War (Classic Reprint) by : Charles Harding Firth
Download or read book The House of Lords During the Civil War (Classic Reprint) written by Charles Harding Firth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Lords During the Civil War Much of this book was written many years before the present controversy about the powers and the use fulness of the House of Lords arose. Parts of Chapters V. And VIII. Appeared in M acmt'llan's Magazine during 1894 - 5, and a few pages of Chapter VIII. Are an abridg ment of certain passages in The Last Years of the Pro tectorate.' It seemed to me desirable, at the risk of some repetition, to put together a consecutive account of the political action of the peerage during the first half of the seventeenth century, and of the vicissitudes through which the House of Lords passed in those troubled times. Between 1603 and 1640 the peerage took an important, and at moments a decisive, part in the defence of the constitution against the Crown. Between 1640 and 1649 every kind of expedient was tried or discussed in order to make the policy of the Upper House conform to that of the Lower - coercion and pur gation of the Upper House, restriction of the power of the Crown to create new peers, amalgamation of the two Houses, limitation or abolition of the veto of the Lords, and finally the abolition of the House itself. The next ten years proved the drawbacks of single chamber government and the difficulty of creating a new Secondevents, and those who witnessed them, speak for them selves, and to set forth their Opinions and arguments for the instruction of their descendants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Lords: A Retrospect and a Forecast And what will be the end of it? Will it result, as upon previous occasions, in a more or less ungracious surrender to the will of the people, after a more or less tedious and harassing conflict; or will the outcome be a reform of the most mediaeval portion of our system of government? Are the Lords to be allowed to plunge the country into one more period of confusion, agitation, and uncertainty, and to emerge from it with their powers unimpaired, or will the struggle be made an opportunity to bring the Upper House more into harmony with modern requirements? These are the thoughts which, upon the eve of this great political crisis, must forcibly present themselves to every student of our constitutional. Methods.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Lords the Constitution Prerogative, nothing is more certain than that for a long period of time successive Sovereigns of this country have relied upon the advice of Ministers who have been selected because they enjoy the support of the House of Commons. And to this are largely due the complete confidence and affection with which the Crown is re garded even In the most troubled times. In a word, we live under a Constitutional Monarchy, to use a familiar expression. I do not know what this expres sion means, unless there is a real distinction between what is legal and what is Constitutional.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Lords and the Nation I have been requested to write a few words of introduction to the following pamphlet on the House of Lords; and it is an agreeable task to bear witness to its singularly fair and truthful reasoning. There is nothing from which I materially differ, there is very much in which I cordially agree. In its moderate and argumentative style, in its complete freedom from personal abuse, unfair attack, or exaggerated statement, it presents a remarkable contrast to articles and papers which have lately been written against the House of Lords, and which, by their injustice and violence, seem to drag us back into the worst political literature of the last century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitutional History of the House of Lords: From Original Sources Though there are many Constitutional Histories of England and Histories of Parliament, there has, it is believed, hitherto been no Constitutional History of the House of Lords. The reader in search of information could only extract it laboriously from disconnected passages in works of great length, or find it shaped as ammunition for the purposes of party warfare in political treatises. The scope of the present work is different from that held in view by such well-known historians as Hallam, May, Gneist, or Bishop Stubbs, or in the polemical essays of Prynne or Freeman. The materials used, though, to some extent, necessarily the same as those upon which they relied, have been largely drawn from other sources, and have been wrought to other ends. Statements of fact are consequently often inconsistent with those made in preceding, works on the Constitution, but the original authorities on which they rest have been indicated. It has, therefore, been thought needless to point out the variations, except in some very remarkable instances.
