A Letter To Thomas Brand: Upon The Subject Of A Parliamentary Reform

By John Coker

Book Overview

""A Letter to Thomas Brand: Upon the Subject of a Parliamentary Reform"" is a political treatise written by John Coker in 1811. The book is a letter addressed to Thomas Brand, a member of parliament, discussing the need for reform in the British parliamentary system. Coker argues that the current system is corrupt and favors the wealthy, and that a reform is necessary to ensure fair representation for all citizens. He proposes a number of reforms, including the extension of the franchise to more citizens, the elimination of ""rotten boroughs"" (electoral districts with very few voters), and the establishment of a secret ballot. The book provides a detailed analysis of the flaws in the current system and offers a vision for a more democratic and just political system. ""A Letter to Thomas Brand"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the political debates of the early 19th century and remains relevant today as a call for political reform and greater democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
