Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of George III on the Development of the Constitution Burke, the reign was mainly marked by a revival of the royal in uence, a reaction against the Whig monopoly of power, and a revival of the Tory party. To them it appeared as if the Constitution, which the struggles and trials of the seventeenth century had established, was being overthrown. To students of history, however, if rs now evident that a process was already at work which was destined to undo all that George III had aecom plished, and to complete the constitutional development which the Revolution Settlement had left unfinished. This process was that advance towards democracy, that transference of ultimate political power from both the king and the aristocracy to the electorate, which has affected, if not actually determined, every subsequent constitutional change.
