Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Students Manual of English Constitutional History English Among systems of government the English Constitution holds a pre-eminent place; for it is the result of a practically unbroken development of thirteen hundred years. Perhaps for this reason among others it has, during the last century and a half, been freely copied. Nearly every progressive nation of the world now possesses a system of government by an executive of ministers and a deliberative body of two chambers. It may be said, without fear of contradiction, that this form originated in England; and its prevalence throughout Europe and America is the result of conscious imitation. But there is this one great difference between the original and all the imitations - that, whereas all foreign constitutional governments sprang Minerva-like from the brain of the legislator, the English Constitution is the result of forces and influences which have been at work for thirteen successive centuries; and while we can, by reference to a written document, gain a sufficiently accurate acquaintance with the governmental method of most foreign parliamentary constitutions, our knowledge of our own constitutional arrangements has to be sought as much in customs as in definite law. The results are so important as to excuse, and indeed to necessitate, a further examination. A Constitution has been defined as the product of ´all rules, which directly or indirectly affect the distribution, or the exercise of the sovereign power in the State.´ It might justly be thought that such rules in each particular country would be as infinitely various as is the history of each country from that of any other; but as a matter of fact, the sum total of such, rules may be distinguished into two classes.
