Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the origins of popular government, this book traces its fascinating evolution from ancient Anglo-Saxon roots to the Magna Carta. The author's keen examination sheds light on the inherent tension between sovereignty and delegated powers, emphasizing the importance of limiting governmental authority to safeguard individual liberties. Through a comprehensive study of historical events and constitutional principles, the book argues that true constitutionalism emerged not in the 12th century but much earlier, born from the democratic instincts of ancient Anglo-Saxon societies. Exploring the interplay between Saxon institutions and Norman influences, the author illuminates how the principles of self-governance and the rule of law took shape over centuries. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the enduring power of constitutionalism, demonstrating its critical role in preserving the delicate balance between authority and individual rights.
