About this ebook

Defending Liberty: The Case for a New Bill of Rights

Basic laws limiting state power have existed for centuries in Britain. However, some serious official assaults on liberty, democracy and the rule of law have occurred in the country of late.

This book is a detailed review of the case for a new Bill of Rights to more effectively protect economic, political, judicial, communication and personal rights and freedoms in the UK. An effective modern Bill of Rights would ban a far wider range of official actions than the original 17th century bill. It would also create a new independent Supreme Court with the power to nullify government laws and policies violating its terms.
