No. 3 The Monitor on British constitutional power
The piece argues that power centralized in one or many will form a constitutional framework and a parallel legislature. It discusses the English frame of king, lords, and commons as a triad, each part bound to its original limits, and the necessity of assent to laws. It notes the people cannot be present for lawmaking and must express consent through representatives.
