Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of John Milton, Vol. 4: Narrated in Connexion With the Political; Ecclesiastical, and Literary History of His Time England was now a Republic. The change had been virtually made on Thursday, January 4, 1648-9, when the Commons passed their three great Resolutions, declaring (1) that the People of England were, under God, the original of all just power in the State, (2) that the Commons, in Parliament assembled, having been chosen by the People, and representing the People, possessed the supreme power in their name, and (3) that whatever the Commons enacted should have the force of a law, without needing the consent of either King or House of Peers. On Tuesday, the 30th of January, the theory of these Resolutions became more visibly a fact. On the afternoon of that day, while the crowd that had seen the execution in front of ´Whitehall were still lingering round the scaffold, the Commons passed an Act "prohibiting the proclaiming of´ any person to be King of England or Ireland, or the dominions thereof."
