Benjamin DisraeliFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBenjamin Disraeli, (21 December 1804 – 19 April 1881)
Disraeli descended from Italian Sephardic Jews from both his
maternal and paternal sides. In 1741, it was declared in the Commons that "According to our Constitution we can have no sole and prime minister... every... officer has his own proper department; and no officer ought to meddle in the affairs belonging to the department of another." In the same year the Lords agreed that "We are persuaded that a sole, or even a first minister, is an officer unknown to the law of Britain, inconsistent with the Constitution of the country and destructive of liberty in any Government whatsoever." .
