The New Democracy and the Constitution by William Sharp McKechnie is about the American Constitution from the point of view of the 18th century. Excerpt: «Conservative statesmen, on the other hand, whether peers or commoners have been equally emphatic that their main object in resisting the Parliament Bill has been to protect the people from being balked of their real desires by the Chamber of their own election. The ancient powers of the House of Lords have been defended by Conservatives almost exclusively on the ground that they ensured the triumph of the genuine will of the people against a capricious, selfish, or obsolescent House of Commons.»
