A Jurisprudence of Power concerns the brutal suppression under
martial law of the Jamaica uprising of 1865, and the explosive
debate and litigation these events spawned in England. The book
explores the centrality of legal ideas and institutions in English
politics, and of political ideas that give rise to great questions
of English law. It documents how the world's most powerful and
articulate political elite struggled with fundamental questions
about law, morality, and power. Can a constitutional state rule a
sprawling empire without breaking faith with the rule of law? Can
it contend with the violent resistance of subjugated peoples
without corrupting the integrity of its legal and political ideals?
The book addresses these questions as it reconstructs the most
prolonged and important conflict over martial law and the rule of
law in the history of England in the nineteenth century.
