About this ebook
A fascinating book about the history of England, this volume sets forth the author’s theory of the feudal origin of the English constitution, which established a limited monarchy, among other things, and the function of the Great Charter (Magna Carta) in effecting “the transition of the fundamental principle of the modern constitution.”
