- Tripartite Lock Theory and Constitutional Critique of the 1765 Revestment
- Description
- An extended academic dialogue on the constitutional illegality of the 1765 Isle of Man Revestment, arguing that Parliament misapplied the Pratt-Yorke doctrine (intended for acquired territories) to the Isle of Man, which was a 'Coordinate Kingdom' under a 1609 Tripartite Administrative Lock requiring consent of the Lord, Tynwald, and Parliament. The author argues the 1805 compensation was 'conscience money' for a constitutional coup, and frames the Revestment as part of a broader pattern of imperial asset-stripping that extended to India and America.
