Explore a careful, argument-first case for Home Rule within a united Empire. This work examines how to grant Ireland self-government while preserving imperial unity, weighing constitutional powers, the role of the Crown, and the balance between local and imperial authority. It argues that the Gladstone-Morley scheme offers a principled path forward rather than surrender to coercion or local rule alone.
- Learn how nationality and political capacity are argued to justify Irish self-government.
- See a detailed look at executive and judicial arrangements, and how they would function under this proposal.
- Understand concerns about imperial sovereignty, and how federation might fit into a broader empire.
- Consider practical questions about parliamentary power, representation, and the limits of self-government within a constitutional framework.
Ideal for readers of 19th‑century political debate, constitutional history, and debates over empire and self-government.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the legal and political ramifications of Ireland's proposed Home Rule with an in-depth analysis of the Gladstone-Morley Bill. The author examines the concept of Imperial unity, which the author posits lies in the common subjection of all its members to a supreme political authority. Through this lens, the author evaluates the bill's intended establishment of a legislative body in Ireland, concluding that, had the bill passed, it would not have undermined the legal sovereignty of the Imperial Parliament.
