Abstract

One of the most prominent English historians, Thomas Babington Macaulay belongs to a group of thinkers which developed what H. Butterfield in 1931 called the ,,Whig interpretation of History". Although Butterfield criticised this kind of writing about the past, Macaulay's ,,History of England" became the most influential interpretation of English history in the 19th century. One of the most important issues for Thomas Babington was the process of the formation of the English political system. The English constitution, a fundamental element of political system of the largest empire in the! 9th century, was a very important model for every political thinker. This is why a presentation of Lord Macaulays view on the most important events which influenced the formation of the British political system is a key to understanding not only the English constitution but also the role and importance of historians and their works for English politics. The article presents one of the most influential interpretation of the English constitution in the 19th Century, written by the eminent historian and statesman Thomas Babington Lord Macaulay.
