The English Constitution

The book became a standard work which was translated into several languages. Bagehot began his book by saying, do not be fooled by constitutional theories and formal institutional continuities– concentrate instead on the real centers of power and the practical working of the political system. He dismissed the two theories of the division of powers and of checks and balances as erroneous.
