Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the text of a public debate that took place in Yorkshire in 1780 over a petition to Parliament to curb the influence of the Crown and support more parliamentary oversight of government expenditures. The author provides important historical context for the debate, exploring the debate within the context of other political writings from the period. The author reveals the influence of the American Revolution as well as the political realignments within England in the period after the loss of the American colonies. While the debate was ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its aims, the author demonstrates how it captured and illuminated the competing views of governance and the role of the monarch. This book offers a valuable examination of the political ideas and debates of the late 18th century.
