The Sovereignty of Parliament - History and Philosophy (Hardcover)

In British constitutional law, the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty maintains that Parliament has unlimited legislative authority. Critics have recently challenged this doctrine, on historical and philosophical grounds. This book describes its historical origins and development. The author identifies the reasons why it was adopted, examines its current legal basis, and responds to the critics. The book will be of interest to anyone involved in the legal, historical, or philosophical foundations of the British Constitution.
