Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reform in Parliament: An Address to the People of England, on the Absolute Necessity of a Reform in Parliament, to Which Are Annexed, Complete Copies of the Magna Charta, and the Bill of Rights; With Explanatory Notes Magna Charta is looked up to by the people of England as the foundation stone of the English Constitution and of English liberty. King John had no sooner signed this deed, than he found that it set bounds to his power, and which to bear he conceived to be an intolerable disgrace; and all the precautions taken by the Barons, to secure the observance of its articles, seemed barely sufficient to counterbalance the unsettled disposition of the king, surrounded by a circle of unprincipled men, mostly French. They represented to him the injury he had done to himself, in suffering his Barons to deprive him of so much of his regal power. John felt the force of their arguments, and determined, if possible, to free himself from the subjection of the Barons. He wished for revenge, but had neither men nor money to support him in the execution of his ambitious views. At length, when almost driven into a state of despair, by the never-ceasing reproaches of his courtiers, he sent the Bishop of Worcester, the Bishop of Norwich, and others, into France, Germany, Italy, and Flanders, with offers to such as would enter into his service, of the estates of the rebellious Barons - so he termed those friends to patriotism and liberty.
