And a British Government would in 1884 have felt itself at liberty to interfere with the executive action of a colonial Cabinet when such action was inconsistent with English ideas of justice . In explaining the succession which is worked out between buyer and seller for the purpose of creating a prescriptive right , such as a right of way over neighboring land to the land bought and sold , it was shown that one who , instead of purchasing the land , had wrongfully possessed himself of it by force , would not be treated as a successor , and would get no benefit from the previous use of the way by his disseisee . The principle , therefore , of parliamentary sovereignty means neither more nor less than this , namely that " Parliament " has " the right to make or unmake any law whatever ; and further , that no person or body is recognised by the law of England as having a right to override or set aside the legislation of Parliament , " 8 and further that this right or 1 Compare the Introduction to the second edition of Law and Public Opinion in England during the Nineteenth Century .

No doubt as time went on the unwillingness of English statesmen to interfere , by means of the royal veto or otherwise , with colonial legislation which affected only the internal government of a self-governing colony , increased . In 1914 the colonial policy of England is to grant to every Dominion absolute , unfettered , complete local autonomy ,38 in so far as such perfect self-government by a Dominion does not dearly interfere with loyalty of the Dominion to the Empire .
