The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham: Colonies, Commerce, and Constitutional Law : Rid Yourselves of Ultramaria and Other Writings on Spain and Spanish America

One of the most important studies of colonialism written in the nineteenth century, Colonies, Commerce, and Constitutional Law is a major theoretical analysis of the harmful effects of colonies on commerce and constitutional democracy. The four pioneering essays collected in this volume were written by Bentham in the early 1820s; three have never been published before.
