AD'DLED PAR'LIAMENT,. A name given to second parliament of James I. of England, 1614, because it did not produce a single statute. It holds, nevertheless, a noteworthy place in the history of constitutional liberty. Its members were chosen at a contested election, the first which had occurred for many years. The principle at issue was the right of parliament to grant all sup])lies. The patri- otic |)arty was victorious. It is significant that three hundred members, or about two-thirds of the entire number, were then elected for the first time, among these new men were John Pym ami Sir Thomas Wentworth, each destined to take a leading part in the coming struggle. After a two-months' session the parliament was dissolved by the King, because it declined to grant him a supply of money without a proper settle- ment of the question of the imposts.
