Book Overview

The Difference Between An Absolute And Limited Monarchy: As It More Particularly Regards The English Constitution is a book written by John Fortescue and published in 1719. The book explores the differences between absolute and limited monarchy, with a focus on the English Constitution. Fortescue argues that the English Constitution is a limited monarchy, where the power of the monarch is constrained by laws and customs. He compares this to absolute monarchies, where the monarch has unlimited power and is not subject to any laws or regulations. Fortescue also discusses the history of the English Constitution and its evolution over time, as well as the role of Parliament in limiting the power of the monarch. The book is considered an important work in the history of political philosophy and constitutional law, and is still studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
