Publisher's Synopsis

""The Constitutional History of England from 1760 to 1860"" is a comprehensive study of the political and legal developments that shaped the British Constitution during the 18th and 19th centuries. Written by Charles Duke Yonge, a prominent historian and scholar of British constitutional law, the book covers a wide range of topics, including the evolution of parliamentary government, the role of the monarch, the growth of political parties, and the expansion of civil liberties.The book is organized chronologically, with each chapter focusing on a specific period in British history. Yonge provides detailed analyses of key events and personalities, such as the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Reform Acts of the 19th century. He also examines the impact of economic and social changes on the political landscape, including the growth of industrialization and the rise of the middle class.Throughout the book, Yonge emphasizes the importance of the British Constitution as a living document that adapts to changing circumstances. He argues that the stability and flexibility of the Constitution have been key factors in Britain's success as a democratic nation.
