How did they rule Britain in 1750?
Essentially the same as today. A constitutional monarchy. The king was George(II) who ascended the throne in 1728. He was of the Hanoverian Dynasty. His mother tongue was German, and English was a second language two him. The modern monarchy's German legacy. He had a parliament of two houses. The House of Lords, and the House of Commons. There was also a Prime minister and Cabinet.. It is the same arrangement as today. Like now, the King signed the Bills from ~Parliament ( Royal Assent) to make the Bills, Acts of Parliament. Like now the king goes to parliament once a year for the State Opening of Parliament. The difference today from 1750. ;- #1 Parliaments are limited to 5 years. #2; Constituencies now truly account for everyone, as opposed to the 'Rotten Boroughs'. Enfranchisement. #3 ; The Parliament Act of the early 1900's limits the Finance Bills(Budget) to discussion in the House of Commons only. It is a very robust and flexible system. There are probably many more Acts delineating Laws of the country and Parliament. Then as now the King is the Head of the Military Services (Army, Royal Nevy and lately Royal Air Force). King George(II) was the last British Monarch to be on the battlefield, whilst the battle was in progress, at Dettingen, Germany. Then as now the King is also the Head of the Judiciary (Courts of Law). The as now the king is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Then as now , by the fact that the king/monarch is head of Parliament/Military Services/Judiciary/Church of England. prevents any one of these four organisation of the state interfering with any of the other organisations. e.g. The Army cannot 'kick out' parliament. Parliament cannot tell the army which wars to fight; it has to be done through the King. Parliament does NOT judge an accused person. The Judiciary does NOT make the laws, but only interprets them. I suggest you read ' Walter Bagehot' ( pronounced 'Bagot') , the great Victorian constitutionalist.
