Advisory Opinions and the Problem of Legal Authority Christian R. Burset* The prohibition against advisory opinions is fundamental to our understanding of federal judicial power, but we have misunderstood its origins. Discussions of the doctrine begin not with a constitutional text or even a court case, but a letter in which the Jay Court rejected President Washington’s request for legal advice. Courts and scholars have offered a variety of explanations for the Jay Court’s behavior. But they all depict the earliest Justices as responding to uniquely American concerns about advisory opinions. This Article offers a different explanation. Drawing on previously untapped archival sources, it shows that judges throughout the anglophone world—not only in the United States but also in England and British India— became opposed to advisory opinions in the second half of the eighteenth century. The death of advisory opinions was a global phenomenon, rooted in a period of anxiety about common-law authority. -

ARTICLE BILLS OF ATTAINDER Matthew Steilen* ABSTRACT What are bills of attainder? The traditional view is that bills of attainder are legislation that punishes an individual without judicial process. The Bill of Attainder Clause in Article I, Section 9 prohibits the Congress from passing such bills. But what about the President? The traditional view would seem to rule out application of the Clause to the President (acting without Congress) and to executive agencies, since neither passes bills. This Article aims to bring historical evidence to bear on the question of the scope of the Bill of Attainder Clause. The argument of the Article is that bills of attainder are best understood as a summary form of legal process, rather than a legislative act. This argument is based on a detailed historical reconstruction of English and early American practices, beginning with a study of the medieval Parliament rolls, year books, and other late medieval English texts, and early modern parliamentary diaries and journals covering the attainders of Elizabeth Barton under Henry VIII and Thomas Wentworth, earl of Strafford, under Charles I. -
Stapylton Final Version
1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach. -

The story was a royalist. and the other a parliamentarian. The parliamentarian continues that, soon after the execution, Stephens died, and his was Nathaniel Stephens, who had houses at Eastington and shade departed in a carriage driven by a headless man in royal Chavenage. At the first election of 1640 he was suddenly set up livery.

Plans for 375 Civil War Commemoration 2018 the Siege Of
Plans for 375 Civil war commemoration 2018 The Siege of Gloucester was an engagement in the First English Civil War. It took place between 10 August and 5 September 1643, between the defending Parliamentarian garrison of Gloucester and the besieging army of King Charles I. The siege ended with the arrival of a relieving Parliamentarian army under the Earl of Essex. The Royalist forces withdrew, having sustained heavy casualties and had several cannon disabled as a result of sallies made by the defenders. 5th September 2018 will be the 375th anniversary of the day the siege of Gloucester was lifted. This is annually commemorated during “Gloucester Day” celebrations which are generally held on the first Saturday in September. #Gloucester375 commemorations To commemorate the 375th anniversary of the lifting of the siege of Gloucester there a number of initiatives that are being discussed with a range of partners across the city which would take place, appropriately across the two weeks of the History Festival and Heritage open days including · Enhanced Gloucester Day celebrations (some re-enactment -possibly Col Massey and a few troops) · Series of Talks at History festival Blackfriars and City voices · Programme of Civil war walking tours (Civic Trust and others) · Civil war Re-enactment in Gloucester park involving 200 reenactors and horses and living camp, possibly a ticketed all day event 15/16th September (Sunday main focus) · 15/16th September living camp in bowling green Gloucester · Heritage Open Days (HODs) 5th/6th September, themed around Civil War, with costumes provided 6th/7th September · Also during HODs re-enactment of scenes depicting stories of Gloucester from the civil war such as the canon ball that rolled down Southgate and the famous pig that was taken around the city walls · Special brochure explaining history of siege of Gloucester, civil war and Col. -
Oliver Cromwell
Oliver Cromwell By Samuel Rawson Gardiner OLIVER CROMWELL. CHAPTER I. KING AND PARLIAMENT. Oliver Cromwell, the future Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, was born at Huntingdon on April 25, 1599, receiving his baptismal name from his uncle, Sir Oliver Cromwell of Hinchingbrooke, a mansion hard by the little town. It was at Huntingdon that the father of the infant, Robert Cromwell, had established himself, farming lands and perhaps also adding to his income by the profits of a brewhouse managed by his wife, Elizabeth—a descendant of a middle-class Norfolk family of Steward—originally Styward—which, whatever writers of authority may say, was not in any way connected with the Royal House of Scotland. "I was," said Cromwell in one of his later speeches, "by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height nor yet in obscurity. I have been called to several employments in the nation, and—not to be overtedious—I did endeavour to discharge the duty of an honest man in those services to God and His people's interest, and to the Commonwealth." The open secret of Cromwell's public life is set forth in these words:—his aim being: first, to be himself an honest man; secondly, to serve God and the people of God; and thirdly, to fulfil his duty to the Commonwealth. In this order, and in no other, did his obligations to his fellow-creatures present themselves to his eyes. For the work before him it could not be otherwise than helpful that his position in life brought him into contact with all classes of society. -

REVIEWS 473 His Distrust of Scholastic Methods a Sincere Desire to Touch ' the Hem of the Garment Which Enshrouded the Immortal and the Divine'
REVIEWS 473 his distrust of scholastic methods a sincere desire to touch ' the hem of the garment which enshrouded the Immortal and the Divine'. But the interference of the hierarchy and the Governments in the life of the University was not all that it had to suffer. London as well as Westminster exerted its influence, and the Citrus Londinensh in an age of pluralism included several Cambridge men whose contribution to academic developements operated more from the City than in Cambridge. For instance Mr Mullinger complains rightly of Lazarus Seaman's non-residence and indifference as (the Intruded) Master of Peterhouse. But Seaman, who held the City benefice of All Hallows, did not hesitate, though he was admitted Master of Peterhouse in April 1644, to Downloaded from accept office as junior dean of Sion College, London, in April 1645,and to serve the office of President for two years, 1651-2. Among his colleagues on the Court were Arthur Jackson (Mullinger, p. 227) and Thomas Horton, President of Queens'. As Sion College had been founded by a Puritan at the outset of the period covered by this volume for the promotion of 'love in conversing together', it became the meeting- http://jts.oxfordjournals.org/ place of many academic divines whose benefices gave them the right of fellowship; Richard Holdsworth, Master of Emmanuel, Brian Walton, of the Polygloti, Sidrach Simpson, of Emmanuel and Arnheim, Simeon Ashe, Manchester's chaplain, and John Arrowsmith, Master of Trinity, are only a few of Mr Mullinger's personae who could use the college in London Wall as a place in which to lay their plans and push their particular men.
