In her study of primary materials in England and the United States, Schwoerer traces the origin, development, and articulation in both Parliament and in the popular press of the attitude opposing standing armies in seventeenth-century England and the American colonies. Central to the criticism of armies at that time was the conviction that ultimate military power should be vested in Parliament, not the Crown. Schwoerer shows how the many diverse elements of England's antimilitarism, including political principle, propaganda, parliamentary tactics, parochialism, and partisanship, hardened with every confrontation between the Crown or Protector and Parliament. The author finds a general predisposition to distrust professional soldiers early in the century, and from the 1620s onward she notes opposition to a standing army in times of peace. Highlighting the growth of the antimilitary tradition, Schwoerer traces the development of this attitude from the Petition of Right in 1628 to the 1641?1642 crisis over the Militia Bill/Ordinance, the military settlements of 1660 and 1689, and the climactic events of 1667?1699. Schwoerer shows how the anti-standing-army ideology affected the constitutional thinking of the American colonists and manifested itself in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. She addresses timeless questions of how to provide for a nation's defense while preserving individual liberty, citizen responsibility for military service, and the relationship of executive and legislative authority over the army. 606 $aStanding army$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01131496 606 $aCivilization$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862898 606 $aStanding army 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 607 $aEngland$2fast 607 $aEngland$xCivilization$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yStuarts, 1603-1714 608 $aHistory. 610 $aMilitary & defence strategy 615 0$aStanding army. 615 0$aCivilization. 615 0$aStanding army. 700 $aSchwoerer$b Lois G$0268661 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524705803321 996 $a"No Standing Armies!"$92784187 997 $aUNINA
