Just and equal Representation of England in Parliament
Mr Wilkes petitions to bring a Bill for just and equal representation in Parliament. He condemns current unequal boroughs, cites historic abuses by formation of seats, and argues for broader English, Scottish, and colonial representation aligned to the Treaty of Union. He urges a measured reform led by Commons reflecting the People.
