Women--Suffrage--Great Britain
Alexander MacCallum Scott was the Liberal M.P. for the Bridgeton constituency of Glasgow from 1910 until 1922.
In this article, he makes the argument that suffrage is not a necessary consequence of the principles of Democracy and Justice, but would in fact undermine the foundation of government.
