Limited Monarchy: Or Ruling Self (1865)

By John Fordyce

Book Overview

Limited Monarchy: Or Ruling Self is a book written by John Fordyce in 1865. The book explores the concept of limited monarchy, which is a form of government where a monarch's power is limited by a constitution or laws. Fordyce argues that this form of government is superior to absolute monarchy or democracy because it allows for a balance of power between the monarch and the people. He also suggests that limited monarchy can be achieved through education and the development of a sense of responsibility among citizens. The book is a reflection of the political and social climate of the mid-19th century, when many countries were transitioning from absolute monarchies to more democratic forms of government. Overall, Limited Monarchy: Or Ruling Self is an important historical text that sheds light on the evolution of political thought during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
