“If, in 1688, you had insisted that the concept of a “constitutional monarchy” was a contradiction in terms, that “constitutional” simply meant “symbolic” and the upshot of the whole scheme would simply be a return to the rule of Parliament, you were a Jacobite. Plain and simple. And you were also dead wrong—for about two centuries.

No longer.” Constitutional MonarchyLong Term ThinkingJacobites Book:An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives Source: An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives
