Essays On Parliamentary Reform is a collection of essays written by Walter Bagehot and originally published in 1883. Bagehot was a prominent British journalist, economist, and political commentator of the 19th century, and this book explores his views on the need for reform within the British parliamentary system. In the essays, Bagehot argues that the current system is outdated and in need of modernization. He suggests various reforms, including the extension of the franchise to more people, the introduction of secret ballots, and the creation of a more independent judiciary. Bagehot also discusses the role of the House of Lords and proposes changes to its composition and powers. He argues that the Lords should be reformed to better represent the people and that their powers should be limited to prevent them from obstructing the will of the elected House of Commons. Overall, Essays On Parliamentary Reform is a thought-provoking and insightful work that sheds light on the debates surrounding parliamentary reform in 19th century Britain. It remains relevant today as discussions around democracy and political reform continue to be important topics of debate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
