On the other, this condition had the potential to undermine their authority if the monarch was required to act on the counsel given. In other words, if counsel is obligatory, it impinges upon sovereignty. If it is not, it then becomes irrelevant and futile. The working out of this essential problem defines much of the political thinking produced during the English 'monarchy of counsel', roughly from the end of the Wars of the Roses to the end of the English Civil War.3 It is the purpose of this book to document attempts to grapple with this fundamental problem: the necessarily challenging relationship between counsel and command"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Political consultants $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Prerogative, Royal $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Legitimacy of governments $z Great Britain $x History. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Tudors, 1485-1603. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Stuarts, 1603-1714. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1485-1603. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1603-1714. 650 7 $a Legitimacy of governments. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995908 650 7 $a Political consultants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069231 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Prerogative, Royal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075509 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a PraÂrogativ $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politikberatung $2 gnd 651 7 $a England $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1485-1714 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Paul, Joanne. $t Counsel and command in early modern English thought. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020 $z 9781108780407 $w (DLC) 2019031566 830 0 $a Ideas in context ; $v 125. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015344.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505012846.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=691FB2729FDF11EA86A3D44697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
