A Leap In The Dark

A Leap In The Dark: Or Our New Constitution is a book written by Albert Venn Dicey in 1893. The book is a critical analysis of the British Constitution and the changes that were made to it in the 19th century. Dicey argues that the changes made to the Constitution were significant and that they represented a leap in the dark, as they were not fully understood or appreciated at the time. He also argues that the changes were made without proper consideration of the consequences, and that they have had far-reaching effects on the British political system. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the changes that were made to the Constitution in the 19th century, including the expansion of the franchise, the growth of the Cabinet system, and the emergence of political parties. Dicey argues that these changes have led to a more democratic system of government, but that they have also created new problems and challenges. The second part of the book focuses on the role of the judiciary in the British Constitution. Dicey argues that the judiciary has an important role to play in protecting individual rights and liberties, but that this role has been undermined by the growth of parliamentary sovereignty. He also argues that the judiciary should be more independent and that it should have the power to strike down unconstitutional laws. Overall, A Leap In The Dark: Or Our New Constitution is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the British Constitution and the changes that have been made to it. It is an important book for anyone interested in British politics and constitutional law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
