Postscript on the English constitution and Parliament
A letter to the London Evening Post argues that kings serve the people, warns Parliament corruption threatens liberties, and endorses Montesquieu’s view that liberty wanes when the legislature corrupts. The writer denounces treachery of servants and defends rights through natural and divine law, foreshadowing a verdict against arbitrary power.
