Description

First published in 1956, The Growth of Responsible Government explores Britain’s most distinctive contribution to political practice. Despite its significance, the history of responsible government had never been written as a cohesive narrative, until this work. The author traces the evolution of responsible government, beginning with the Stuart parliaments’ struggle against arbitrary monarchy, where many early attempts proved unsuccessful. The book then examines the constitutional developments of the 18th century, highlighting the emergence of key features such as the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the alternation of Government and Opposition, and party organisation. Though these elements existed in embryonic form, they were often met with resistance by politicians of the era. The system’s final shaping is linked to the years preceding Queen Victoria’s accession and the Durham Report, with an epilogue addressing its modern relevance. This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers of history and politics.
