It is worth while here to note what is the true injury to the study of law produced by the tendency of Blackstone , and other less famous constitutionalists , to adhere to unreal expressions . Their reasoning was that " the devise is quasi [ 370 ] an act of law , which shall inure without attornment , and shall make a sufficient privity , and so it may well be apportioned by this means . This line of reasoning proves too much . These words are a true statement of patent facts , but it will on examination be found that the change during recent years in English opinion , and also in colonial opinion , with regard to the relation between England and the Dominions presents rather more comlexity than at first sight may be apparent41 to a casual reader of Mr. As-quith 's address . These facts may rekindle among the youth of England as of France the sense that to be young is very heaven ; these facts may console old men whom political disillusion and disappointment which they deem undeserved may have tempted towards despair , and enable them to rejoice with calmness and gravity that they have lived long enough to see the day when the solemn call to the performance of a grave national duty has united every man and every class of our common country in the determination to defy the strength , the delusions , and the arrogance of a militarised nation , and at all costs to secure for the civilised world the triumph of freedom , of humanity , and of justice . These may be brought under two heads ; they are most dearly and briefly exhibited if under each head is stated the argument of the Suffragist and the answer or reasoning in reply of the Anti-Suffragist . Queen Elizabeth at a time when the King or Queen of England was not indeed the absolute sovereign of the country , but was certainly the most important part of the sovereign power , namely Parliament.110 In this Introduction the referendum , or the people 's veto , is considered simply with reference to Bills passed by the Houses of Parliament but which have not received the royal assent . But there are thousands of sensible Englishmen and Englishwomen who , while they doubt the advisability of introducing into England even manhood suffrage , refuse to admit the cogency of reasoning which leads to the result that every Englishman and Englishwoman of full age must have a right to vote for a member of Parliament .
