Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nuanced relationship between the authority of kings and the concept of lawful resistance or rebellion within the English legal tradition. The author delves into the evolution of this dynamic from the Norman Conquest to the reign of Henry VII, challenging conventional narratives that emphasize a seamless transition from a feudal to a modern state. Through an examination of legal texts, parliamentary debates, and historical accounts, the author uncovers a complex and often contradictory interplay between the competing claims of the king and the rights of the people. The book sheds new light on foundational ideas in English constitutional thought and offers a fresh perspective on the tensions inherent in any political system that seeks to balance sovereign authority with the protection of individual liberties.
