Halaman 373 - Others, who, perceiving the deficiencies that had arisen from circumstances, were solicitous of their amendment, yet resisted the attempt, under the argument, that when once we had presumed to touch the constitution in one point, the awe which had heretofore kept us back from the daring enterprize of innovation might abate, and there was no foreseeing to what alarming lengths we might progressively go, under the mask of reformation.
Halaman 220 - Country, moft ardently wHh to have it maintained upon the genuine principles on which it was founded Your Petitioners further fliew, That it is neceflary to the welfare of the People, that the Commons...
Halaman 384 - It was then the theory, and it had been the practice, in all times, to adapt the representation to the state of the country; and this was exactly what it was his intention to recommend to the House. Now and in all future time to adapt the representation to the state of the country, was the idea of reform which he entertained. Perhaps gentlemen would be apt to exclaim that this contradicted the declaration with which he set out, viz.
Halaman 619 - He declared that in his life he had never felt more embarrassment, or more anxiety than he felt at that moment, when, for his country's good, he found himself obliged to discover, and lay before the House, the imperfections of that constitution to which every Englishman ought to look up with reverential awe; a...
Halaman 398 - that leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend and extend an Act made in the forty-second year of his present majesty's reign, for the preservation of the health and morals of apprentices and others employed in cotton and other mills, and cotton and other factories.

Halaman 385 - ... been wrested from the hands of the executive branch of the legislature, and that to this day there existed but the Act of Union to prevent the Crown from adding to or diminishing the number of that House. By the Act of Union, the proportionate numbers for the two parts of the kingdom were fixed, and from the date of that Act, but not till that Act, the discretion of the Crown was at an end. The argument of withstanding...
Halaman 89 - GEORGE the Third, by the grace of GOD of Great-Britain, France and Ireland King, defender of the faith, and so forth,; and in the year of our LORD one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight.
Halaman 545 - ... of which I complain, when I complain of the inadequacy of representation ? It is, that a very small minority of the people do now act for the whole in electing the entire representative of the nation. Now this is as much a greater abuse than the former, as the whole is greater than a small part; and as one was expunged by the Parliament, the other ought to be expunged by the People.
Halaman 387 - From these circumstances, he thought that a doubt could not be left on the mind, but that it always had been the principle of representation that it should change with the changes which the country might endure, and that it should not be merely governed by exterior and local considerations.
