Summary "A Constitution in Making (1660-1714)" by G. B. Perrett, S. E. Winbolt, and Kenneth Bell is a historical account compiled in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a collection of significant documents from a crucial period in English history, specifically focusing on the events surrounding the establishment of constitutional monarchy following the English Civil War. The book likely explores themes of governance, power dynamics, and societal change during a transformative era. The opening of the book establishes the purpose and scope of the series it belongs to, emphasizing the educational utility of primary source materials in understanding the political and social fabric of early modern England. The introduction outlines the rationale for compiling various historical documents, ranging from legal acts to personal accounts, thereby enabling students and scholars to engage actively with the material. Documents mentioned include the Declaration of Breda, detailing King Charles II's intentions upon his return to England, as well as other key events such as the Act of Uniformity and the Plague in London, each setting the stage for a deeper exploration of England's constitutional evolution.
