Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book from the 17th century presents a series of arguments used to debate the pros and cons of disbanding or retaining a standing army in England. The author, through a series of letters, explores the topics of power, authority, and constitutional law, delving into the relationship between the English monarchy and the state. The author's arguments are supported by a thorough analysis of historical events, particularly events during the reigns of earlier monarchs such as Elizabeth I and James I. He also comments on the behaviour of Continental powers such as Spain and France, and the military strategies used by Julius Caesar. Throughout the text, the author argues that standing armies are not necessarily a threat to the English constitution and, in times of great national need, are more effective than a locally organised militia. This book will be of value to those interested in military history, constitutional law and English history.
