Constitut. Code. Rationale
Be this as it may But the fact is – that whatsoever is done, it is with the
Kings will that it is done: in each instance it may or may not have originated in the
Kings will: but in whose will so ever it originated what is proposed, if it be against
the Kings will it is not done.
The question here is – what in this respect is the general
and habitual course of the act of government: a Of the few exceptions, whether
as to men is that by careful enquiry might perhaps
be found, the effect will rather be to prove the rule than to
disprove it. No Monarchy so absolute, but that exception of this in this or that instance
might be found in it.
Of the absoluteness of the Kings power, a conclusive proof is was
that which was brought held up to view in the a Commons House Debate in
the Session of 1822.+ + June 1822, Black Dwarf July 3 1823 Motion by Mr Brougham: object of it, holding
up to view what is called the influence of the Crown: that is to say
to the proceedings of the two sets of functionaries who in profession
and form are drawn with him in the supreme operative. Proof
this. Whosoever The Prime Minister is the nominee and instrument. When once a man has been appointed decidedly located in
the situation of Prime Minister, the Commons House a vast majority
of it vote according to his will, after having but a few
days before usually when he was not Minister but in opposition
voted against it.
