The eighth and ninth pamphlets are grievances that the Norman Parliament addressed to Louis XVI regarding the imposition of new taxes, while the last pamphlet is the inauguration speech given by M. Le Franc de Pompignac before the French Academy and the speech in response to this given by M. Dupré de Saint Maure, President of the Academy.
2013La democrazia rappresentativa si fonda sull'assunto che esista un'elite con la vocazione al potere politico. Ma fino a che punto può spingersi la delega che i governati conferiscono ai governanti? È pensabile che, in situazioni limite, li possano revocare prima del termine del mandato? Può essere utile per tenere alto il livello della classe politica e, insieme, alimentare il senso civico e la cittadinanza attiva? È il problema che cerca di affrontare questo libro, muovendo dall'istituto anglosassone del Recall, vale a dire della revoca dell'eletto a seguito di una petizione popolare. Nel 2003 Arnold Schwarzenegger ha assunto la guida politica della California proprio grazie al Recall del governatore in carica. L'istituto della revoca ha conosciuto così un'attualità inattesa nelle democrazie liberal-democratiche, al punto che il governo britannico in carica lo ha inserito nel proprio programma di riforme istituzionali. Questa sensibilità è uno dei prodotti più evidenti delle trasformazioni che sta conoscendo la democrazia contemporanea, in cui diversi fattori - si pensi alla sfiducia crescente che pervade i cittadini, al continuo ricorso ai sondaggi d'opinione, alla "mediatizzazione" della politica et al. - premono sull'istituto della rappresentanza, segnalando l'opportunità di un ripensamento del suo profilo. Prefazione di Giuliano Urbani. Autori: Davide Gianluca Bianchi.

1640pp. [2], 55. Signatures: A^(4)(-A1) B-G^(4) H2. There are two settings of this same edition known (no priority as to first issue, and many copies contain mixed formes). This setting has the title page with a small version of the royal arms; and on the verso a large, full page, engraved version; and the last line of D4v begins: as ever'. **Short contemporary Ms. note on title: 'This p'lament began Apr. 16, 1640 & was dissolved May 5 folowing.' Small 4to. 190 mm. Later blue boards binding; leather title strip lettered in gilt. Clean and attractive copy. Charles I (1600-1649), King of Great Britain and Ireland. In his early disputes, arguments, and battles with the Scots, tried a new tool. He resolved to call an English parliament, and to ask for means to enable him to make war effectually upon Scotland. The discovery of an attempt made by the Scottish leaders to open negotiations with the king of France led him to hope that the national English feeling would be touched. In the meanwhile the English privy councillors offered him a loan which would enable him at least to gather an army without parliamentary aid. The Short parliament of 1640 was opened by the King on 13 April with a few words indicative of the gravity of the situation, the task of more fully setting forth the royal wishes and intentions being devolved upon the Lord Keeper (Baron Finch). Under Pym's leadership the Parliament showed itself disposed to ask for redress of grievances as a condition of a grant of supply, and it subsequently refused to give money unless peace were made with the Scots. On 5 May Charles dissolved parliament by means of this Declaration. Getting money by irregular means, he proceeded to push on the war, and formed an Irish army to join the mutinous and un-warlike Royal army. Terrified and exasperated Englishmen, believed that this army would be used in England to crush their liberties. The Scots knew that the opinion in England was in their favour, and they had already entered into communication with the parliamentary leaders. On 20 Aug. they crossed the Tweed, defeated part of the royal army at Newburn on the 28th, and soon afterwards occupied Newcastle and Durham. Charles's money was by this time almost exhausted, and he was obliged to summon the English peers to meet him in a great council at York, as there was no time to get together a full parliament. The great council met on 24 Sept. It at once insisted on opening negotiations with the Scots, and sent some of its members to London to obtain a loan to support the army during the progress of the treaty. Charles had now agreed to summon another parliament, and the negotiations opened at Ripon were adjourned to London. Possibly written by John Finch, Baron Finch of Fordwich (1584-1660), Speaker of the House of Commons and Lord Keeper. STC (2nd ed.) 9262; Thomason, E.203[1]; Lincoln's Inn.

191430p. 8vo. Original full blue grey printed wraps. Very nice copy. Sir Robert Laird Borden (1854-1937). As prime minister, Borden headed a Conservative government until 1917 and a Union (coalition) government until his resignation in 1920. He is remembered for his leadership in carrying Canada through World War I and, subsequently, in defining the new status of the self-governing dominions in the British Empire. Largely through his efforts the dominions were given separate representation in the League of Nations, and the Canadian Parliament ratified the treaties that resulted from the Versailles peace conference of 1919.

Title continues: 'As Exhibited In His Parliamentary And Legal Speeches, And Miscellaneous Writings.' Henry Peter Brougham (1778-1868), 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux, was a British statesman who became Lord Chancellor of Great Britain. Brougham helped to found the Edinburgh Review in 1802 and contributed many articles to it. He was called to the bar in 1808. In 1810 he entered the House of Commons as a Whig. Brougham took up the fight against the slave trade and opposed restrictions on trade with continental Europe. In 1820, he won popular renown as chief attorney to Queen Caroline, and in the next decade he became a liberal leader in the House. He not only proposed educational reforms in Parliament but also was one of the founders of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in 1825 and of University College London in 1826. As Lord Chancellor from 1830 to 1834 he effected many legal reforms to speed procedure and established the Central Criminal Court. In later years he spent much of his time in Cannes, which he established as a popular resort. S&S/AI 54668. First American Edition. PAIMP 10
2013È da tempo invalsa nell'opinione pubblica l'idea che realizzare compiutamente un regime democratico significhi aumentare l'efficienza della sua azione, renderla più incisiva. Di qui il disegno di rafforzare il ruolo dell'esecutivo a spese della rappresentanza parlamentare, la cui attività dialettica è spesso tacciata di verbalismo e di sterile faziosità. Lo strumento più usato per rinvigorire il potere esecutivo è un qualche meccanismo elettorale maggioritario. Un'idea correlata è che il requisito essenziale per l'esistenza di una democrazia consista in libere elezioni. Ambedue i postulati sono errati perché non colgono la ratio di una democrazia, ossia che con libere elezioni si formi un organo sovrano collettivo che annoveri tutte le componenti ideologiche della nazione. Riproducendo esattamente i sentimenti e le convinzioni dell'intero popolo, quell'organo sovrano opererà allo stesso modo dell'intero paese adunato in un'unica assemblea. Solo a questa condizione, ossia in assenza di qualsiasi correzione maggioritaria, ci sarà una crazia del demos e non un semplice trasferimento di potere popolare nelle mani di un soggetto in qualche misura diverso dal popolo.

2005Consigliere parlamentare della Camera dei Deputati, Antonio Casu presenta in questo volume la tesi secondo la quale la sicurezza non deve né essere intesa come un contropotere interno, né come un freno inibitore del sistema democratico, ma come il presupposto imprescindibile per l'autoconservazione della democrazia.

2009Come facciamo a restituire luminosità e fascino alle nostre istituzioni democratiche? Alla loro funzionalità e alla loro forza persuasiva? Noi tutti dobbiamo essere preoccupati se una cospicua parte della nostra popolazione non si aspetta più niente dalle élites dello Stato e della società o diffida di loro. La spina dorsale della democrazia è costituita dalla fiducia che elettrici ed elettori hanno verso i rappresentanti da loro eletti, verso la loro competenza e serietà, le loro buone intenzioni e la loro onestà, il loro orientamento etico e la loro integrità morale. È un bene da maneggiare con cura. Autori: Wilhelm Staudacher, Mario Ciampi.
