More about the book
The book explores the pivotal changes in England's political structure initiated by Charles II after the Restoration, highlighting his covert establishment of a Cabinet, which undermined traditional constitutional practices. This shift toward a political dictatorship fostered secrecy and nepotism within Parliament, leading to unchecked power. In response, Parliament enacted the Act of Settlement in 1701, introducing measures to prevent the emergence of Cabinet-style governance and curb undue influence in politics.
