- How far do you agree that in the years 1485 – 1603 the role and authority of the Justice of the Peace was transformed?
- LOA: agree- role transformed from punishment to enforcemnt
- P1- how it began and started to change
- 1495-allowed to act on info without jury's permission
- Hviii- 2200
- Jps appointed for life
- 1549- role began to expand
- jps resopnisble for taking inventories of parishes during the dissolution
- P2 counter arguement
- still mostly responisble for punishment eg poor laws
- still only 1500 jps in elizabeths reign
- could be argued that this shows that the responsibilities did not develop significantly
- still issues in localites eg ketts - away
- P3- later development
- 1572- responsible for listing the poor in each parish
- 1563 statue of artificer - responsible for fixing wages
- 1598 - licence to beg signed by 2 JPs
- responsible for collecting donations
- by the end of 1603, jps had direct influence in the localites and their role had greatly developed
