A New Government For The British Empire (1912) - Hardcover

A New Government For The British Empire is a book written by F. W. Bussell in 1912. The book discusses the need for a new form of government for the British Empire, which at the time was the largest empire in the world. Bussell argues that the existing system, which was based on the British Parliament, was no longer sufficient to govern such a vast and diverse empire. He proposes a new system of government that would involve the creation of a federal parliament, with representatives from all the different parts of the empire. This parliament would have the power to make laws and decisions that would affect the entire empire, while still allowing for regional autonomy and self-government. Bussell also discusses the role of the monarchy in this new system, arguing that the monarch should have a symbolic role rather than a political one. The book is a fascinating look at the political and social issues facing the British Empire at the beginning of the 20th century, and provides insights into the debates and discussions that shaped the future of the empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
