Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical debate surrounding the legal implications of a parliamentary dissolution on ongoing impeachment proceedings. The author meticulously examines the Resoultion of 1678-9, which asserted that impeachments survived such dissolutions. This decision sparked controversy, with some viewing it as a politically motivated attempt to bypass the King's prerogative of pardon. The author traces the evolution of this legal principle, analyzing precedents and contrasting opinions to provide a comprehensive understanding of the arguments for and against the validity of impeachments across parliamentary dissolutions. The book offers a nuanced exploration of the tensions between the powers of the Crown, the rights of the Commons, and the role of the House of Lords in impeachment proceedings. Ultimately, the author's insights illuminate the significance of this legal debate in shaping the balance of power within the British constitutional system, and the enduring legacy of the Resolution of 1678-9 in safeguarding the integrity and effectiveness of parliamentary impeachments.
