The Constitution Violated - Josephine Elizabeth Butler - Bog

The Constitution Violated: An Essay is a political treatise written by Josephine Elizabeth Butler, first published in 1871. The book is an impassioned critique of the British government's Contagious Diseases Acts, which allowed police to arrest and forcibly examine women suspected of being prostitutes. Butler argues that these laws violate the fundamental principles of the British Constitution, including the right to personal liberty and the presumption of innocence. The book is a call to action for citizens to stand up against government overreach and protect individual rights. Butler's writing is clear and persuasive, and her arguments remain relevant to contemporary debates over civil liberties and government power. The Constitution Violated is an important work of political philosophy and a powerful defense of individual freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
