The Brexit challenge clearly referred back to this classic founding of the English Constitution. Every adult in the entire UK should read this book. The author is David Lewis Jones. This book was one of the principal sources of information, that I required, in order to write my book "DEMOCRACY". BIN AProduct detailsHardcover: 308 pagesPublisher: H.M.S.O (1988)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0117013900ISBN-13: 978-0117013902n these Brexit challenging times, this book is an amazing reminder that challenging the Sovereignty of Parliament let alone the crown in parliament is not new. 1688/89 saw the official removal of Catholic James II of England (James VII of Scotland) as king of those realms and other dominions to be replaced by his protestant nephew and son-in-law William of Orange and his daughter Princess Mary.The debates and talks disclose the anxieties of a parliament having a king who tilted his crown to Rome. James II was seen as a tyrant who 'left the throne vacant'. The glorious revolution was that the crown revolted without bloodshed (except for the Battle of the Boyne which James II lost, thus consolidating William III's claim on the throne). It is remarkable that parliament used English historical precedent to invite a 'foreigner' to become king instead of just asking Mary to be Queen. This book contains faithful reproductions of the debates, showing the processes that parliament took with the eventual reasons, final decisions and results. The Brexit challenge clearly referred back to this classic founding of the English Constitution.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 11, 2015Every adult in the entire UK should read this book. It is a fabulous book setting out all the history of parliament during the, "Glorious Revolution". It reveals in precise detail how and why King James the Second was removed from the throne. Furthermore, It also provides, the vital information, as to the 'legality' in respect of the way the British are governed today. And, as little known by most adults in the country; it sets out the true legal responsibilities, of each Reigning Monarch, occupying the English throne. The author is David Lewis Jones. He was the librarian in the House of Lords. This book was one of the principal sources of information, that I required, in order to write my book "DEMOCRACY".
