What type of political representation existed in European political institutions during the Ancien Régime? Which social sectors were given a voice? How did the representation and participation of different social groups in the various institutions develop? To what extent did the common man feel represented in this estate-based society? These are some of the topics addressed by the authors of this book—all of whom are recognised experts in their field. This volume analyses different institutional levels (monarchies, republics, parliaments, municipalities, rural communities) and European territories (France, Italy, the Holy Roman Empire, Scotland, Spain [Crown of Aragon and Crown of Castile]), adopting a comparative perspective and correlating different territorial and social realities between the 16th and 18th centuries.
