- Title
Commons v. Chancery: The 1604 Buckinghamshire Election Dispute Revisited.
- Authors
Thrush, Andrew
- Abstract
The article focuses on the famous Buckinghamshire election dispute of 1604 which brought an important milestone for parliamentary development in Great Britain. Moreover, the event was followed by the intervention of king James I, where the Commons won from the chancery the right to judge the quality of parliamentary voting. The exercise in the country brought a struggle between the Commons and chancery for supremacy. Furthermore, the conflict has never adequately explored but may have been deliberately engineered.
