Although there have been many studies of the English revolution and
its more dramatic trials, until this book was published in 1971,
little attention had been paid to the Long Parliament's attempts to
impeach a number of judges. This book describes how the judges
became unpopular, selecting a number of themes - from the
development of unanimous decision and opinions, to the role of the
judges as agents and supervisors of government policies. The Long
Parliament viewed them as the great instrument behind evil policies
and believed they had attempted to usurp the power of legislation.
Charles I is seen as placing too much reliance on his judges and
his failure to realize that legality could not be a perpetual
answer to political dissent in the end cost him his throne. The
book is intended as an introduction for undergraduates.
