Dissolution of Parliament and Tory strategy in 1807
The article examines the December 1806 dissolution of Parliament, the Tory government’s charges against the King’s prerogative, and debates in Parliament. It cites Lord Hawkesbury, Mr. Canning, and Lord Eldon, noting suspected ministerial duplicity, unnamed Cabinet actions, and the ensuing shift toward Whig ascendancy amid Maynooth funding debates. It weighs whether the King acted independently or under hidden influence and reflects on the broader political maneuvering surrounding the dissolution and its aftermath.
