Fragmented Petition Urges Secure Succession Against Hanover Threat
A lengthy public discourse defends the 1700s Abjuration Act Clause amid Hanover concerns. It laments calumniators linking the House of Commons to the Pretended Prince of Wales, argues Parliament must uphold the Revolution settlement, and warns against arbitrary power and popery. It cites William III era lessons, parliamentary sovereignty, and the dangers of a tottering Crown. The piece references Smith Johnson and a city pamphlet war, urging continued constitutional defense.
