- W2001060965 abstract "For thirty years John Phillip Reid has been making what Barbara Black has called “the case for the colonists.” In a series of deeply researched books and articles, Reid has explicated and defended the constitutional and legal arguments advanced by American patriots during the imperial crisis of the 1760s and 1770s. This book continues that task: “the British who opposed the American version of the constitution were ‘looking ahead,’ away from the ancient constitution, to government by consent, to a constitution of parliamentary command, in which government was entrusted with arbitrary power and civil rights were grants from the sovereign. The Americans were ‘looking backward,’ not to government by consent but to government by the rule of law, to a sovereign that did not grant rights but was limited by rights” (p. 52). Reid develops this argument by focusing on the ideology of the “ancient constitution,” as expounded during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by various English politicians and common law lawyers—Edward Coke, Matthew Hale, John Selden, Robert Atkyns, Henry St. John Bolingbroke. Their goal was to preserve liberty through the rule of law, and the essence of that law was embedded deep in the English past: “the Constitution and Form of Government of the Saxon Heptarchy,” as the Earl of Abingdon put it in the 1770s (p. 9). Its main institutions, Reid explains, were “elective monarchy … representation of the freemen, annual elections, and, of course, the right to trial by jury” (p. 89), and its fundamental principles were “timeless.” “The Freemen of England have always from beyond all times of memory enjoyed the same Fundamental Rights and Privileges (I mean in substance) that they do at this day,” declared James Tyrrell in 1695 (p. 87). The first principles of limited government and customary rights remained intact even as political institutions, legal forms of action, and procedural practice changed." @default.
