Debates Over Reform and Representation in King's Speech Era
The House debates the Quebec bill and government prosecutions, with arguments on naval dispatches from Sir George Rodney, private vs public letters, and accountability. The Duke of Richmond unveils a plan for general elections, including districting, universal male suffrage with limits, and sixteen elected Scottish peers, but the bill is rejected after lively exchanges about representation, the constitution, and parliamentary balance.
