Methods of Legislation: A Lecture Delivered Before the University of London, October 25, 1911 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Methods of Legislation: A Lecture Delivered Before the University of London, October 25, 1911
But the task of survey and comparison is materially facilitated by two things. The first is, that there is an agreement among all civilized nations as to the general prin ciples on which legislative procedure should be founded. A modern law is not brought. Down from Sinai, or imposed by the will of an irresponsible despot. Every important law must, before it takes its final shape, be submitted to the scrutiny and criticism of, and be liable to amendment and rejection by, a popular assembly elected for that pur pose. The extent to which this process of scrutiny, criticism and amendment is applied, and the methods by which it is applied, differ according to the nature of the subject-matter, and the procedure, habits and idiosyncrasies of the legislature.
