Declaration of the People's Natural Right to a Share in the Legislature, Which Is the Fundamental Principle of the British Constitution of State
- Granville Sharp (author)
- Jack P. Greene (collection editor)
This pamphlet was written by Granville Sharp. Sharp, a prominent British abolitionist and legal reformer, argues in the work that participation in the legislature is a natural right of the people and the foundational principle of the British constitutional order — a politically charged argument made at a time of rising tensions over parliamentary representation and colonial governance.
