Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Considerations Arising From the Debates in Parliament: On the Petition of the Irish Catholics Were a stranger, who had often heard of the beauty of the British constitution, to be told, that four millions of natural-born subjects, forming a fourth part of our European population, enjoyed not all the rights of citizens, and that when recently they had humbly petitioned to be admitted to an equal participation of those rights, their petition was rejected by Parliament, I can conjecture, what his inference must be. His inference must be, either that the character of that constitution had been misrepresented to him, or that the latter fact was mistated. And would his perplexity be removed, were it added, that, in the opinions of many, the exclusion of that mass of people was not only compatible with the principles of that constitution, but that it flowed, as a direct effect, from what were called its fundamental laws? More surprised, the stranger would enquire for the motives, or causes, under which that exclusion had been established.
