The New Irish Constitution: An Exposition and Some Arguments

"The New Irish Constitution: An Exposition and Some Arguments" by J. H. Morgan is a non-fiction publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive examination of the proposed new constitutional framework for Ireland, particularly focusing on the implications of the Home Rule movement and the establishment of an Irish Parliament. It discusses the relationship between Irish governance and the broader structure of the United Kingdom, exploring various legal and administrative considerations. The opening of the book presents an introduction by the editor, J. H. Morgan, which outlines the motivation behind the work and provides context for the discussions to follow. Morgan emphasizes the need for a forward-looking analysis of Irish governance rather than a retrospective one, stating the importance of considering both historical arguments and contemporary developments. He introduces the contributors and their respective topics, which cover aspects such as the constitution, judicial authority, financial relations, and the role of the Irish Parliament. This setup indicates a scholarly approach to a critical political issue, inviting readers to engage with the arguments supporting Home Rule and the complexities involved in achieving self-governance in Ireland.
