Political Debates
- William Pitt (author)
- Jack P. Greene (collection editor)
Political Debates is a pamphlet attributed to William Pitt, Earl of Chatham. The work falls under subjects spanning law, history, social sciences, and general interest periodicals from the United Kingdom, reflecting the wide-ranging political discourse of the era. It offers historians and researchers a primary-source window into British parliamentary debate during a pivotal year — 1766 being notably the year Parliament repealed the Stamp Act amid rising tensions with the American colonies, a cause Pitt famously championed.
