Why this should have been the case will appear if we quote the First Article of the proposed Address after the Preamble.

It ran thus: "That your Highness will be pleased to assume the name, style, title, dignity, and office of KING of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the respective Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging, and exercise thereof, to hold and enjoy the same, with the rights and privileges and prerogatives justly, legally, and rightfully, belonging thereunto: That your Highness will be pleased, during your life-time, to appoint and declare the person who shall, immediately after your death, succeed you in the Government of these Nations." The rest of the Address was to correspond.

Thus Article II.

proposed a return to the system of two Houses of Parliament, and generally the tenor was towards royal institutions.

On the other hand, the regality proposed was to be strictly constitutional.
