Parliamentary Reform and the Impracticability of Universal Suffrage
A mid eighteenth century essay argues that universal voting and annual elections would unleash chaos and corruption, making an independent Parliament impossible. It contends no electoral reform can improve representation, warns of mob influence from broad suffrage, and asserts the English constitution requires a balanced three-branch system. More to the point, it advocates measured reform rather than radical overhaul, emphasizing order, stability, and the dangers of brute force voting. The piece critiques various reform schemes and stresses that true improvement lies in prudent, limited changes guided by conscience and reason.
