Produktbeschreibung

What are the limits to parliamentary sovereignty? When should the people be able to vote directly on public issues? The constitutional theorist Albert Venn Dicey (1835â 1922) was a cogent advocate of the referendum. This volume collects his writings on this theme for the first time, exploring their implications for our biggest debates today.
