THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT SITTINGS IN 1628 – 1629: AN ARCHEOGRAPHIC APPROACH
Abstract
The paper features an archeographic analysis of the primary sources for the English Parliament sittings in 1628 – 1629. The author attempted to establish the main stages in publishing the documents which reveal the nature of the Parliamentary debates in the pre-revolutionary England. The sources analyzed allow tracing down the publication history for the primary sources in England in the 17th-20th centuries. The aim of the research is also to lay down the ideological and political framework which served as a publishing background for the sources concerning the development of the English parliamentary system. Such archeographic research is original as there are no such analyses necessary to study the backgrounds of the revolution and the history of the Parliamentary system in particular. A thematic justification for conducting this research is that the legal and political history of England differs from that of other European countries. The Parliament became more and more important, both in times of the Civil War and afterwards, and its role became more significant within the European trend in striving for absolute power consolidation. In this regard the history of the English Parliament reveals a unique experience in preserving the fundamental legal values. Analyzing the key primary sources for the given period as well as the leading political trends which provided for later publications allows revealing the nature of the Parliamentary debates and the consequent revolution in England from the historical point of view.
