A Project for an Equitable and Lasting Peace (Classic Reprint): Designed in the Year 1643, When the Affairs Stood in Ballance Before the Second Coming ... to Have Kept Them Out Then (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A Project for an Equitable and Lasting Peace explores a bold 1643 plan for reforming Parliament and securing rights, liberty, and stability in a divided kingdom. This edition presents the arguments and proposals that shaped early debates about law, governance, and the balance of power.
This pamphlet-style text frames a crisis in which leaders seek safer, fairer elections, protected rights, and limited, accountable authority. It emphasizes the danger of unlimited power and the need for a political system that can adapt while safeguarding the common good.
- A clear view of proposed reforms to Parliament, elections, and the monarchy.
- Arguments for safeguarding rights and liberties within a constitutional framework.
- Discussion of accountability, the role of the courts, and limits on executive power.
- Historical context for how 17th‑century debates shaped later constitutional thought.
Ideal for readers of historical political thought, constitutional history, and period documents of the English Civil War era.
