The Pace Of Change In Civil Polity 1688-1765 As Cataloged In Blackstone’S Commentaries On The Laws Of England, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Wm. Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England (in its ultimate chapter, Book IV, Chapter 33) lists 35 changes in English civil society from 1688-1765. The list references sixteen Acts of Parliament, four instances of executive acquisition of power and fifteen instances of judicial reform. These 35 changes in political society over 77 years compute to one change every 2.2 years, making generous allowances for assumptions. OCL investigates.

Americans wrote constitutional texts at a furious pace beginning in 1775, with the state count hitting fifteen (as of 1786) and a national charter written and replaced (as of 1787). Our Constitutional Logic shortlists five ‘rights’ – more precisely termed heightened consumerism, from the system’s point of view – that pre-existed each of these chartered organizations. The investigation plays its proper role in supporting a survey of these five ‘rights’ in Quentin Skinner’s Foundations of Modern Political Thought.
