Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on legal and constitutional transformations that arose following the English Revolution and the establishment of the English Protectorate. Beginning with the Instrument of Government, a novel form of constitutional structure, the book explores how the prior legal system that concentrated authority in a single house of Parliament fragmented into a more separated system of governance. The author notes the tension between conceptions of modern democratic structures and the application of more medieval notions of mixed government that were still very much in vogue during the period of the English Civil War and its aftermath. The book contributes to a greater understanding of how we perceive legal systems today, how those systems relate to democratic norms, and the role that history plays in shaping both.
