It is further noticeable that in 1785 the power to create Parliamentary boroughs was still looked upon as in theory an existing prerogative of the Crown . Despotism itself is obliged to truck and huckster . General Scott and General Lee alike had been trained as officers of the American Army ; each was a Virginian ; each of them was determined from the outbreak of the Civil War to follow the dictates of his own conscience ; each was placed in a position as painful as could be occupied by a soldier of bravery and honour ; each was a victim of that double allegiance which is all but inherent in federalism . In furtherance of this design I have not only emphasised the doctrines ( such , for example , as the sovereignty of Parliament ) which are the foundation of the existing constitution , but have also constantly illustrated English constitutionalism by comparisons between it and the constitutionalism on the one hand of the United States , and on the other of the French Republic . If the Premier should advise the creation of five hundred Peers , the Chancery Division would not , we may be sure , grant an injunction to restrain their creation .
