"The Constitutional History of England from 1760 to 1860" by Charles Duke Yonge, is a late 19th-century historic examination of how England's constitution changed during a century with big political and social changes like the Reformation, the American Revolution, and the Reform Bill of 1832. The book looks closely at the happenings, laws, and important people that affected the constitution during this time, giving background on how democracy grew. Yonge starts by talking about Mr. Hallam's old thinking that stops with George II's death. Yonge points out the big changes under George III, stressing the many important legal and political shifts that came up, like fixing parliament and stopping colonial habits. He brings up main ideas like talks about political strength, people's say in government, and people's freedoms, centering on how these things molded how people felt and how the country was run. Yonge questions the political mood when George III took over, laying the groundwork for the full historical story that's to come.
