What are the limits to parliamentary sovereignty? When should the people be able to vote directly on issues? The constitutional theorist Albert Venn Dicey (1835–1922) was a cogent advocate of the referendum. While his enthusiasm for the institution was widely acknowledged in his own day, thereafter this dimension of his career has been largely neglected. This fall into obscurity is partly explained by the fact that Dicey never collected his writings on referendums into a single volume. Consequently, during the prolonged crisis over Brexit, the implications of Dicey's thought were unclear, despite his standing as a foundational figure in British constitutional law. This timely modern edition brings together Dicey's sophisticated and intricate writings on the referendum, and it covers his attempts to construct a credible theory of democracy on a new intellectual and institutional basis. An original scholarly introduction analyzes Dicey's thought in light of its contemporary context.

Lectures on the Relation Between Law and Public Opinion in England During the Nineteenth Century
The famed 1914 edition of this classic is one of the small handful of works that deserve to be read by Americans to understand the 1980s. Indeed, the final three chapters, describing the decline of will and consensus in late Victorian England, stand as a stark, unmistakable reminder that such national decline can happen again. Dicey was the most influential constitutional authority in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Modern politicians have often invoked the phrase "rule of law." So commonplace has it become that few recognize its source in the work of Dicey. Law and Public Opinion in England is written with simplicity, wit and a sense of purpose that marks it as a book apart. It did much more than fortell the decline of empire, it developed the forms in which such decline comes about. In many ways this book represents a pioneering statement on the libertarian tradition as a consequence of rather than rebellion against the legal norms of an advanced civilization. This is a central book for students of society and politics alike.

Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution (1908)
Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution is a book written by Albert Venn Dicey in 1908. The book is a comprehensive study of the British Constitution and provides a detailed analysis of the principles and concepts that underpin it. Dicey's work is considered to be one of the most influential texts on constitutional law and has been widely used as a reference by legal scholars and practitioners alike.The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the British Constitution. The first part provides an overview of the historical development of the Constitution, tracing its origins from the Magna Carta to the present day. The second part examines the principles of the Constitution, including the rule of law, parliamentary sovereignty, and the separation of powers. The third and final part of the book explores the practical application of these principles in the British legal system.Throughout the book, Dicey argues that the British Constitution is unique in its reliance on the rule of law and the principle of parliamentary sovereignty. He also highlights the importance of the separation of powers in maintaining the integrity of the legal system and ensuring that the government is held accountable to the people.Overall, Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution is a seminal work in the field of constitutional law and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the British legal system.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1908 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
