The Constitution Safe Without Reform (1795)

The Constitution Safe Without Reform is a book written by Arthur Young in 1795. It is a political treatise that argues against the need for reform of the British constitution. Young was a British agricultural writer and social commentator who was known for his support of the French Revolution and his advocacy for agricultural reform. In his book, Young defends the existing British constitution against calls for reform from radicals and reformers of the time. He argues that the constitution is based on sound principles and has served the country well for centuries. He also contends that any attempt to reform the constitution would be a dangerous and unnecessary experiment that could lead to chaos and instability.Young's book is notable for its defense of the monarchy and the House of Lords, which were the two institutions most often targeted by reformers. He argues that these institutions are essential to the stability and continuity of the British government and that any attempt to weaken or abolish them would be a grave mistake.Overall, The Constitution Safe Without Reform is a passionate defense of the British constitution and a call for the preservation of the existing political order. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the political debates of the late 18th century and the challenges facing the British government at the time.Containing Some Remarks On A Book Entitled, The Commonwealth In Danger, By John Cartwright.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
