Abstract
I
consider
two
theories
of the
determination
of
political
institutions
.
One
of these
theories
stresses
effects
of
changes
in the
balance
of
military
power
between
the
ruler
and
subjects
on the
distribution
of
property
rights
which
the
political
system
enforces
. The
other
theory
emphasizes
the
effect
of
changing
informational
constraints
which
require
institutional
changes
to be
made
in
order
to
maintain
efficiency
.
I
examine
how
each
of these
theories
would
apply
to
explaining
the
development
of
parliamentary
government
in
thirteenth-century
England
.
My
general
conclusion
is
that
both
theories
are
required
to
understand
fully
the
process
by
which
liberal
political
institutions
emerge
.
