Beskrivning

First Published in 1967. The method or system of government in the United Kingdom and the self-governing Dominions may be described with sufficient accuracy as that of a political democracy under the Crown. This study is published because the author is convinced that constant research into, and analysis of, all the present-day implications and tendencies of such method or system are essential.
