Description
No Standing Armies! The Antiarmy Ideology in Seventeenth-Century England by Lois G. Schwoerer
This study explores the development and articulation of the anti-army ideology in seventeenth-century England, tracing its evolution from the Petition of Right in 1628 to the 1641-1642 crisis over the Militia Bill/Ordinance.
Schwoerer examines how this antimilitarism hardened with each confrontation between Parliament and the Crown, influencing constitutional thinking and shaping the relationship between executive and legislative authority over the army. The author also considers the impact of this ideology on the American colonists and its legacy in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
