Abstract
This chapter details Burke's political life from 1766 to 1773. Burke's response to developments in India between the start of the Chatham ministry and the early years of the North administration occurred against the backdrop of his engagement with domestic events in conjunction with the American crisis. In each case, his thinking was framed by the context of British constitutional concerns, above all his alarm about the decline of party and the rise of an imperious style in court and ministerial circles. India posed a particular threat in the context of these preoccupations: the access to patronage that the conquest of Bengal might deliver into the hands of the British crown filled Burke with dismay.
