Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of English history and law, exploring the principles of individual liberty and the limits of governmental power. The author, an expert in constitutional law, traces the development of the concept of personal liberty from the Magna Carta to the present day, arguing that the right to be free from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment is a fundamental principle of the English constitution. Drawing on a wealth of historical and legal sources, the author challenges the notion that the House of Commons has the authority to imprison individuals without trial, arguing that such a power would undermine the very foundations of English liberty. This book is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the relationship between the individual and the state and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of English law and constitutionalism.
