Excerpt from The Case for Federal Devolution There is one very common misconception about the origin of the proposal Which ought, at the outset, to be cleared away. It is that the demand for devolution is the outcome of reviving sentiments of nationality Which fail to find scope and freedom for their expression under a Con stitution Which, for all legislative and administrative purposes, unites the peoples of England Scotland, and Wales under a common Parliament Those Who entertain this view admit that there is nothing in the state of opinion in England to support it but they see, or think they see, it con firmed' by the state of opinion prevailing in Scotland and Wales.

I believe the explanation to be totally mistaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
