  A. V. Dicey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Venn Dicey (February 4, 1835 – April 7, 1922) was a British jurist and constitutional theorist who wrote An Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution (1885).
He understood that the freedom British subjects enjoyed was dependent on the sovereignty of Parliament, the impartiality of the courts free from governmental interference and the supremacy of Common Law.
Dicey was a vigorous opponent of Irish Home Rule and published and spoke against it extensively from 1886 until shortly before his death, advocating that no concessions made to Irish nationalism in relation to the government of any part of Ireland as an integral part of the United Kingdom.
