Book excerpt: In 'England's Case Against Home Rule,' A.V. Dicey argues that the movement towards Irish parliamentary independence poses a fundamental threat to the Constitution of the United Kingdom. Written in the 19th century, Dicey contends that the home rule movement involves dangerous, if not fatal, innovations on the Constitution of Great Britain. A must-read for anyone interested in the history and future of self-government and decentralization in the British Isles and beyond, and its impact on policies with Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.
