Book Description
Reappraises the often complex relationship between British monarchs and some of their more troublesome subjects in the 'age of revolutions'. Casts new light upon the contested languages of constitutionalism, contract theory and the rights of petition and provokes fresh controversy over the viability of monarchies in the modern world.
