| Summary | "A Proclamation Declaring His Maiesties Pleasure Concerning the Dissoluing of…" is an authoritative document issued during the early 17th century, likely reflecting the context of English governance during that time. As a historical proclamation, it details the reasons and processes through which the King of England, in his royal capacity, intended to dissolve the current Parliament. The document serves to convey the monarch's perspective on the political disputes and workings of Parliament, emphasizing the royal prerogative over legislative assemblies in a time of political tension. In the content of the proclamation, the King elaborates on the circumstances that led to his decision to dissolve the assembly, citing both the initial goodwill between the Crown and Parliament and the subsequent misunderstandings and conflicts that arose. He reflects on the historical practices of governance by his predecessors and expresses a commitment to justice and the well-being of his subjects. The proclamation underscores the delicate balance of power between the monarchy and Parliament, revealing the King's frustrations with the Parliament's proceedings and his intent to provide effective governance despite the challenges posed by political dissension. Ultimately, it encapsulates the tensions of the time and the King's desire to maintain control over the legislative process while appealing to the loyalty of his subjects.
