New Zealand , is now most sparingly exercised , and will hardly be used unless the Bill directly interferes with Imperial interests or is as regards the colonial legislature ultra vires . The second is the combination of local autonomy absolute , unfettered , complete with loyalty to a common head , co-operation , spontaneous and unforced , for common interests and purposes , and , I may add , a common trusteeship , whether it be in India or in the Crown Colonies , or in the Protectorates , or within our own borders , of the interests and fortunes of fellow-subjects who have not yet attained , or perhaps in some cases may never attain , to the full stature of self-government . What is the precise moral influence which might be exerted by a wise constitutional monarch ; what are the circumstances under which a Minister is entitled to dissolve Parliament ; whether the simultaneous creation of a large number of Peers for a special purpose is constitutionally justifiable ; what is the principle on which a Cabinet may allow of open questions these and the like are the kind of inquiries raised and solved by writers whom , as being occupied with the conventional understandings of the constitution , we may term conventionalists . Thus the Crown , or in other words a British ministry , will now not veto or disallow any Bill passed by the legislature of a Dominion on the ground that such Bill is indirectly opposed to the interests of the United Kingdom , or contradicts legal principles generally upheld in England , e.g . Nor can the argument used by Priestley ,10 and in effect by the protesting Peers that Septennial Parliaments were at first a direct usurpation of the rights of the people ; for by the same authority that one Parliament prolonged their own power to seven years , they might have continued it to twice seven , or like the Parliament of 1641 have made it perpetual be treated as a blunder grounded simply on the " ignorant assumption " that the Septennial Act prolonged the original duration of Parliament.ai The contention of Priestley and others was in substance that members elected to serve for three years were constitutionally so 8 Lord Mahon , History of England , i. p. 302 . " Whatever peculiarities of our law rest on that assumption may now be understood . Teutonic institutions brought into Britain by the English conquerors ; effects of the settlement on the conquerors ; probable increase of slavery ; Earls and Churls ; growth of the kingly power ; nature of kingship ; special sanctity of the King ; immemorial distinction between Kings and Eal-dormen . 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 . The thirty-one peers who protested against the Bill because ( among other grounds ) it is agreed , that the House of Commons must be chosen by the people , and when so chosen , they are truly the representatives of the people , which they cannot be so properly said to be , when continued for a longer time than that for which they were chosen ; for after that time they are chosen by the Parliament , and not the people , who are thereby deprived of the only remedy which they have against those , who either do not understand , or through corruption , do wilfully betray the trust reposed in them ; which remedy is , to choose better men in their places ,9 hit exactly the theoretical objection to it . asis files , and are able to provide a crude way of influencing the Expires : header , as well as providing other curiosities . If it be placed in the hands of judges , who profess and probably desire to practise judicial impartiality , it may be very difficult to ensure general respect for any decision which contradicts the interests and the principles of a dominant party . The best mode of giving an answer to this question is first to state broadly what were the legislative powers of the House of Lords immediately before the passing of the Parliament Act , i8th August 1911 , and next to state the main direct and indubitable effects of that Act on the legislative power of the House of Lords and of the House of Commons respectively . Each tendency has obviously some good and some bad effects .
