Thetford was a constituency of the British House of Commons. It elected two Members of Parliament (MPs) by the bloc vote system of election. It was disenfranchised under the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1868,which had resulted in a net increase of seven seats in Scotland,offset by the disenfranchisement of seven English Boroughs.
Hythe was a constituency centred on the town of Hythe in Kent. It returned two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons until 1832,when its representation was reduced to one member.

In philosophy,the Absolute is the term used for the ultimate or most supreme being,usually conceived as either encompassing "the sum of all being,actual and potential",or otherwise transcending the concept of "being" altogether. While the general concept of a supreme being has been present since ancient times,the exact term "Absolute" was first introduced by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,and features prominently in the work of many of his followers. In Absolute idealism and British idealism,it serves as a concept for the "unconditioned reality which is either the spiritual ground of all being or the whole of things considered as a spiritual unity".
