... a Parliament in fact. It was plain that the Convention was the fountainhead from which the authority of all future Parliaments must be derived, and that on the validity of the votes of the Convention must depend the validity of every future statute.

Thus we find nowadays people arguing and doubting about doctrines which at one time were taken for granted.
