Three Estates in Parliament debate without the King
A reader recounts a quarrel over the notion of three estates in Parliament without the King, arguing whether there can be four estates or more. The letter-writer satirizesUnsupported theories, noting the King, Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons as estates, and questions the logic of a King doing no wrong.
