Abstract

This paper shows that the Glorious Revolution of 1688 broadened access to Parliament for families needing rights to sell land in so-called estate bills. Bills were on average 14–27 percentage points more likely to be for gentry families and not aristocratic families in legislative sessions after the Revolution compared to sessions before. Regression and archival evidence suggest that parliamentary certainty was primarily responsible for improved access by altering families’ entry calculus and brokers’ recruitment of new business. More broadly, the paper provides insight into the ways in which political institutions affect access to and the provision of property rights.
光荣革命与进入议会
本文表明,1688年的光荣革命扩大了需要以所谓的地产法案出售土地权利的家庭进入议会的机会。在革命后的立法会议上,与之前的会议相比,贵族家庭而不是贵族家庭的法案平均高出14-27个百分点。回归和档案证据表明,议会的确定性主要是通过改变家庭的入门计算和经纪人招募新业务来改善准入。更广泛地说,本文提供了对政治制度影响获取和提供财产权的方式的见解。
