Being an alternate historian, I consider myself to have an above average knowledge of history(at least by American standards) of my own country. However most Americans unfortunately do not know their own history, or system of government very well, let alone the system of other nations. Given this fact, most of our educational system doesn't teach us a whole lot about other governmental systems.
I know some of how a parliamentary system works, but I'm a bit fuzzy on details and other things as well. I am writing a timeline which will involve America adapting a parliamentary system, and I need to know as much about late 18th/early 19th century Parliamentary systems as I can.
So can anyone explain how the late 18th/early 19th century British parliamentary system worked? If not you directly then could you point me to any source that has the process simplified enough so that I don't have to read a British equivalent of the Brown Act or Robert's Rules of Order?
Thanks in Advance
