The Colonies Of England

Více o knize

Focusing on the need for decentralization, Roebuck presents a governance plan for England's colonies that advocates for self-government and federalism. He critiques the inefficacy of centralized control from London, proposing that each colony should have its own legislature and executive while remaining under British authority. His influential ideas contributed to the development of self-governing dominions like Canada and Australia, making this work a significant historical document in understanding 19th-century colonial governance.
