A Country Should Be Ruled by a Monarchy.

The belief in some sort of divine bequest is the basis on which James argues, likely as other rulers had, that monarchy is the form of government which, "approacheth nearest to perfection, as all the learned and wise men from the beginning have agreed upon; Unitie being the perfection of all things."
A strong monarchy is able to quash the destruction and chaos of rebellions before they are started. It is of course, over-lorded by a divine right monarch and this form of government uses its latticework of religious principles and political machinations to dictate, and control, a ...

Founded towards the end of 1066, the tower of London is a historic castle in Central London. The tower was established as a reminder of the Norman Conquest of England military architecture. The origin of the tower dates back to the Roman Empire when the city of London was founded. London residents were able to see the tower from all corners of the town since it was very tall. This served to remind them that they were under the rule of William the Conqueror. The dictatorial rules imposed by William’s administration made the monarchy very unpopular over the ...

1. What was the absolute monarchy? How did it succeed in France and fail in England?
Absolute monarchy is a form of government in which the head of the state is a monarch, a king or a prince. The monarch holds an unrestricted power in both the public and private spheres, although the latter is tempered by traditions, religion and the clergy. The monarch is the judge, the head of state, and the legislator, but while despotism is underpinned by evil and paganism, absolute monarchy is associated with religion, particularly Christian religion. This form of government originated immediately before ...

Today, it can be safely said that there are many forms of government that a country that is aspiring for a charter or a constitutional change can choose from. There is democracy, oligarchy, dictatorship, monarchy, constitutional monarchy, federation, among others. It may also be important to mention that the classification of the different forms of government can be based on different categories. For example, the classification can be based on the distribution of power or structure of power (as in the case of confederations, federations empire, unitary states, and hegemony), the source of power as in the case autocratic, ...

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen

The French Revolution or the Reign of Terror has been one of the world’s bloodiest and influential revolutions in history, reshaping international and regional politics as it is seen today. Born out of discontent towards the monarchy and lack of rights, the Reign of Terror took many lives in the process and questioned the capability of the monarchy to lead the country. French citizens were left in disarray with the lack of system and the necessity of having a government that would respect the rights and liberties of the people were becoming crucial given the state France is ...

While much has been hypothesized regarding the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, it is of immense significance to note that this does not mean that Saudis Arabia is no longer an Islamist nation. To be precise, Saudi Arabia remains one of the most vocal Islamic nations, which has established close bilateral ties with the United States because of various reasons. Concurrently, the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia is mutually beneficial to the two countries. As such, there are various reasons that justify the notions that indeed Saudi Arabia is still an ardent Islamist ...

Brazil has seen the change in the rule from the monarchy to democracy. It had its leadership under Emperors before it changed to democracy. The first system never gave the people the right to vote for their favorite leader while democracy gave them that right. The discussion looks at history in the change from the civil society to democracy and the groups that occupied Brazil in history. Then it would cover the reforms, the achievement of this transition.
The Brazilian monarch system reigned in 19th century under the leadership of various kings. The greatest challenge is that, in many ...

Analysis of the change in perception of the American colonists from loyal English subjects to independent Americans

First of all, it is important to realize that the pilgrims and European immigrants arrived in the North America with the aim of obtaining religious freedom. The British Monarchy at the time constrained the religious freedoms of its people. However, the English identity of the immigrants still remained despite the fact that the colonists were in a new territory. This is evident by the fact that the British Monarchy did not consider the colonists as being sovereign. The British Monarch believed that its mandate and jurisdiction ran beyond the borders of England ( Foner 49). This concept is manifest based ...

Gabrielle M. Spiegel, “The cult of St.Dennis and Capctian Kingship” The past as Text. The theory and Practice of Medieval Histiography. John Hopkins University Press, Baltimore
In the excerpt, The Past as Text, Gabrielle M Spiegel explores medieval history while applying the concept of postmodernism. Spiegel allows the reader to make an assessment while applying critical and theoretical assessments of postmodernism. Similarly, Spiegel would like the reader to know that the texts are artifice and are mostly determined by historical occurrences that would be difficult to dig for the modern eye to capture.
She begins her quest with a ...

Introduction
The Spanish Civil War is among the most significant domestic conflicts in history that has gained notorious international attention due to its wide-ranging implications. International involvement has become a defining feature of the importance of the war, although more importantly, the war has exposed the political division in Spain at that time – between the Republicans and the victorious Nationalists. This study will seek to inquire more on the essential details of the war, particularly on its historical antecedents and international involvement.

Arguably, in the entire world there are various forms of government, in which countries have an option to adopt. One of the forms is called constitutional monarchy. This is a form of government, whereby a monarch takes charge of the state within the specified parameter stated in a constitution. It can be blended constitution, written or uncodified. In one way or another, constitutional monarchy differs from the absolute monarchy; in this case, absolute monarchy is a form of government whereby absolute monarch is a basis of power, but it is not constitutionally bound in legal terms, yet the monarch ...

Book Review: Republicanism and Democracy

The American Revolution was a complex political process that was inevitable. This is because the wave of the revolution was shaped by logical forces and circumstances that faced the American colonists leaving them with no other choice than revolting against the tyranny of the absolute monarchy that extended its hand to the Americas. However, the pressure to revolt on the colonist was not only experienced in Northern America but also was evident in other parts of the world. This accounts for other historical revolts like the French revolution. Gordon Wood the author of this book focuses of the progressive ...

Republicanism and Democracy in the 18th Century

A Book Review
Introduction
Some of us have learned the history of the American Revolution in a way which leads us to think the revolution was inevitable. There were logical forces and circumstances leading to the revolution and like other people in other revolutions the American colonists reached a point where they had no other choice but to revolt. Some of us have learned that the revolution parallels the French Revolution. The author, Gordon S. Wood, takes aim especially at what he describes as the Progressive interpretations of the American Revolution and demonstrates neither the revolution nor the revolution’ ...

Since the 14th century, Christianity and Islam were becoming the two premier religions followed by many throughout the globe. Several territories had practiced only one of these two religions, while a few would allow a mix of both Muslim and Christian traditions on their territories. However, while religion was considered a right allowed to all, there were several countries that had looked down on other religious sects and persecuted them. One of these nations that adhered solely to one region is Spain, a known devout nation to Christianity. The Spanish Inquisition of 1481 or the Tribunal of the Holy ...

MONARCHY AND PRESIDENCY

The political order, political system or form of government (which is sometimes used phrases and social order, that order) is the name for a system of institutions that make up the government in a country. Form of government depends on the head of state. The head of state and supreme state authority is not the same. Supreme state authority is the Parliament today and head of state is the president.
In Monarchy, the ruler is a king, sultan, Pharaoh, Prince, Emperor (the government in a country where there are more people). The monarch is legally irresponsible (figure above the ...

Preface

The paper uses press excerpts for the year 1789 to highlight the perspectives held by different authors on the theme contained in these excerpts. This way, we are able to analyze the views of different authors on the French revolution that occurred precisely between the years 1789 to 1799. During this period, France witnessed numerous political, social, and economic changes. The nation went from being ruled by a monarchy to becoming a constitutional republic after the masses revolted against the monarchy rule blaming it for the increased taxes and cost of living. The events culminated with the execution of ...

Introduction

The book “The French and their Revolution by Richard Cobb” describes the French Revolution that took place in the last decade of the 18th century, between 1789 and 1799. This period was marred with political and social turmoil in European history. The revolt resulted in the crumple of the ‘absolute’ kingdom that had governed France for several decades. This book gives a brief summary of the revolution and how the government reacted towards the same. The author states that monarchy had ruled France for years which resulted into different social classes emerging. There was a very big gap between ...

Common sense was an influential pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776. He was very careful in the way he wrote his works. This was necessitated by the fact that he always wanted his readers to understand the occurrences of the time better by informing them clearly. At one time, he claimed “I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense.”
Thomas Paine’s common sense argument is depicted by his reflections of the government and the religion. He distinguished the society and the government by stating that the government is an institution whose main obligation ...

Democracy, Rights, and Empire

Thesis
Europe has seen it all; revolutions, plague, recession, famine, revolts, and invasions, and this was why, when opportunity came knocking at their doors, the few powerful nations of Europe, adventured to expand and control their business interests far from their shores. In order to understand how and why this transpired, one needs to go back in time and understand Europe as it was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Background

The Rise of Europe between 1500 and 1850 was largely accounted for by the growth of European nations which shared their borders with the Atlantic, and in particular, by ...

1 Samuel is one of the oldest documented writings and it belongs thematically with 2 Samuel. In some editions they are known as first two Books of the Kingdoms, thus leaving 1 and 2 Kingdoms as third and fourth books in this sequence. This is a very logical connection, since all the four books describe chronological events of the years preceding and following the establishment of the Jewish kingdom as an institution. Functionally 1 Samuel is a book of the Prophets (the other two being Law and Writings). This fact tells us that 1 Samuel is not only a ...

Introduction:

American Constitution was not a result of a day's effort. There were a lot of discussion, debates and compromises which went into the making of a viable US Constitution. The founding fathers of American democracy were invariably influenced by the political ideas of some all-time great philosophers including John Locke, John Winthrop and Thomas Paine. Divided on the distribution of power among a central governing body and state governments, Federalists and Anti-Federalists too are mere reflection of the ideas propagated by these three philosophers. In order to know more about the political ideals of these forefathers, I would highlight ...

Many scholars consider modern democratic government "inevitably' as party government. The attitude that democracy is inevitable is somewhat idealistic according to Philip Slater and Warren G. Bennie of the Harvard Business Review [ CITATION Sla90 \l 1033 ]. In an article posted on HBR’s website entitled, “Democracy is Inevitable,” they write that democracy, ”reflects a state of mind (sic) that is by no means peculiar to business people but characterizes all Americans, if not perhaps all citizens of democracies [ CITATION Sla90 \l 1033 ]. The article ...

Introduction

Thomas Paine wrote “Common Sense” in the first month of 1776, and by the end of the year, it had sold 150,000 copies throughout America, constituting itself as the country’s first “best seller”. In this pamphlet, he put forth all the arguments that had been built up by the time, regarding the Colonies’ right to independence, and the evils of absolutist monarchy. The ideas of Natural Laws, and the roles and limitations of the Government, which are expressed in this document, were in wide circulation in the educated circles at the time, and even ...

British History: Social Sphere of the Popish Plot
In the 16th Century, the Church of England removed itself from the influence of the Catholic Church. This became known as the English Reformation, and it subsequently led to a great deal of anti-Catholic sentiment in England and a great divide amongst Catholics and Protestants. This animosity was prevalent for centuries and manifested itself in social and political issues as well as religious ones. Towards the end of the seventeenth century, Protestants greatly feared Catholics “overthrowing the Church of England in Church and State”, their concerns were heightened by “The king’ ...

Thomas Paine’s ‘Common Sense’ is a unique treatise in the history of the United States. Published in the year 1776, ‘Common Sense’ gives an account of the colonial situation of America under the British rule. In the book, Paine discusses about the reasons for American independence from the British, and differentiates the American society from the government. He describes the society as a constructive that consists of people. He states the very purpose of the government as protecting its citizens from all frailties . The assessment of the government depends on its accomplishment of goals. Paine expects the American ...

Thesis Statement
Thomas Jefferson’s Query XIV Laws is quite different from Phyllis Wheatley’s Poems, in that, while both of them targeted slavery and its abolishment, Jefferson’s views are expressed by a person from the outside, while Phyllis’ views are personal. While Jefferson makes comparisons to show that slavery in America was not as bad, Phyllis makes a direct appeal to abolish slavery.

The French Revolution (1789-1794)

The French Revolution was the democratic revolution of 1789-94 in France, which put an end to feudal-absolutist system and cleared the way for the development of capitalism. It was a natural result of a prolonged crisis of outdated feudal-absolutist system, the result of a crisis that reflected the growing conflict between the old, feudal relations of production and the new capitalist concepts and capitalist production.
The main contradictions that predetermined the revolution were exacerbated with state bankruptcy, commercial and industrial crisis which began in 1787, lean years that resulted in famine all over France. In 1788 peasant uprisings swept ...

Introduction

American Revolution began in 1775 with the battle of Lexington and French revolution started 14 years after in 1789 when the revolutionaries attacked the Bastille prison. The two revolutions happened within almost same historical timeframe but in two different continents and an ocean apart. There are some similarities as well as differences the two revolutions shared in terms of causes and outcomes. It is very easy to find the commonalities between the two revolutions. Both the nations were revolting against a monarchy, both happening almost at the same time and both trying to create an environment for people which ...

The historical context of the trial and eventual execution of Mary, queen of Scots is of quite significant for those who take interest in English history and particularly for them who want to know about what happened in the discourse of history when the Holy Roman Catholic Church split into two divergent branches i.e., Catholic and Protestant. At that time, i.e. in 1543, Henry VIII of England decided to set up the Anglican Church and to break the religious ties with the Catholic Church. Rather than to call the English Church as both Catholic and Protestant, it was defined ...

Alexis de Tocqueville and Robert Michel’s remain some of the renowned and proficient scholars who contributed in the development of sociology. They published and wrote numerous sociological materials in pursuit of addressing social constructs and challenges that faced humanity. Their social background, education, and career are some of the pertinent factors that played an integral role in shaping ideas, thoughts and argument brought forth by these scholars.

Part A. In 1917, several revolutions took place in Russia which upended the monarchy of the Tsars and ended with the establishment of the Russian SFSR. The last Russian Tsar was compelled to abdicate in February 1917; at that time, a provisional government was established. A second revolution followed in October, at which time the provisional government was ousted, and the Communist government took its place. Between February and October, there was considerable conflict between the Communists (Bolsheviks) and the provisional government; at the point when the provisional government opted to keep fighting the Great War against Germany, the ...

Authoritarianism is a form of governance or social organization where citizens submit blindly to the demands of the government or authority and its administration. Much of the 20th century witnessed significant social, economic, and political changes. The changes stretch back to the 1800s during the French revolution. Inspired by the masses opposition to authoritarian regimes, the changes were also witnessed majorly during the first and second world war that saw the rise and decline of fascism in Italy and Spain, and also during the cold war era that witnessed mixed reaction as the Western Powers sought different ways to ...

The French Revolution that took place in 1789-1799 is one of the most popular political uprisings in world history. Throughout the 18th century, the traditional authoritarian French monarchy remained in power despite talk of reform. As the authority structures remained in place, economic revolutions took place within the French society causing dramatic changes. Moreover, the evolving social structure started to collide with the static political structure. This led to the clamor for reforms in order to create a constitutional monarchy, reform the financial and political landscape of the nation. The revolution was immediately followed by the by a dictatorship ( ...

Jeanne Louise Henriette Genest Campan was close in age to Marie Antoinette when she acted as one of the young queen’s attendants. She was by all accounts an intellectual, an educator, and fairly progressive during the Napoleonic era. Madame Campan was sent to wait on Marie Antoinette in 1774. She served in that capacity until 1792 when the French Monarchy was overthrown. Madame Campan wrote about waiting on Marie in a fairly sterile and very removed fashion, especially given the circumstances that occurred at the end of her service to the queen. After Marie’s death, Madame Campan ...

The Arab – Israel conflict can be traced back to the creation of the Jewish state in the Middle East region in 1948. This led to rising tensions in the region, and upset the balance of power in the Middle East. The conflict escalated especially after the first Arab- Israel war in 1948 that saw Arab powers led by Egypt and Jordan invade the newly created Jewish state. The powers felt the United Nation partition plan of Palestine in 1947 greatly favored the Jews at the expense of the local Palestine population (Fawcett slide 14 of Fawcet chapter 3). The ...

Bible Interpretation Using Various Types of Critical Disciplines

Introducing the old Testament
The Bible can be interpreted using various types of critical disciplines. This is done through interpretation and explanation that is critical of text especially texts of religion. In ancient times the term exegesis, which is the critical expansion and understanding of the religious text, was the primary interpretation of the Bible. Therefore, “Biblical exegesis” is applied in a wider context in the religious text. Exegesis is a combination of a broader perspectives that are critical and disciplines. When we focus on biblical textual criticism, the inquiry of the history and originality of the text, sometimes ...

The concept of ''liberalism'' emerged in the early 19th century in European political literature. For the first time this term was used in Cadiz Constitution in Spain in 1811, when a group of politicians defined the constitution drawn up by them as liberal. Later this concept was included in the English, French, and then in all the European languages. The term ''liberalism’' comes from the Latin ''liberalis'' which means freedom (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Today, liberalism is a complex system that characterizes the economic and political relations in the country. Initially, liberalism was a purely political notion; economic sphere, although ...

Henry IV Secures the Monarchy

A monarchy refers to the hereditary mode of governance with all the powers vested in the monarch who is the head of state (Wise Geek 1). The French absolutism began during Henry IV’s rule. When he came into office, the country was in a state of chaos resulting from endless religious wars between the two divisions of the Christian faith in addition to political in-fighting. The popularity of the state had significantly gone down with poor control of government money due to disorder in the country.
Henry IV witfully asserted a lot of effort to turn the situation ...

As a dramaturge in seventeenth-century France, Molière effectively uses a number of literary techniques to criticize religious hypocrites. Under the strict regime of absolutist Louis XIV, Molière wrote plays primarily for the king. However, being a natural dissident, he disguised critique through satire. The play, Le Tartuffe, has become a household name, and the word “tartuffe” has become a common word in French, meaning “hypocrite”. In this play, Orgon, the head of a noble household, is blinded and swindled by a religious hypocrite, named Tartuffe. Tartuffe manages to treat Orgon’s family with disdain, and disrespect, even ...

Otto von Bismarck's Political Prowess

Otto von Bismarck's Political Prowess

Introduction

The political philosophy, that Otto von Bismarck practiced, is often being referred to his political career without actually stating the question of whether or not the political pragmatism, that he clearly used, was an evolution of his views or whether it had always been present in his mind, even during his earliest political activities.
This historical figure played a significant role in world politics, and no other person in the history of modern Europe, with an exception of Napoleon, has ever attracted as much interest and attention, partially due to the magnetic appeal of ...

The prostitution legality in Europe differs from one country to another. A number of nations criminalize the act of getting involved in sexual practice for money as others permit prostitution itself although not the majority types of procuring, for instance, facilitating another person’s prostitution, running brothels, acquiring financial benefit from another person’s prostitution or even accosting. Prostitution is legitimate and regulated in eight nations in Europe including Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Switzerland, Turkey as well as Latvia. The extent of social control of the laws of anti-prostitution also differs from one nation to another, one region ...

Thomas Ertman identified four types of territorial states in early modern Europe, all of which faced significant strains, challenges from below and demands for change that finally culminated in the French Revolution of 1789. Even Britain, which had already experienced two revolutions in the 17th Century that overthrow the absolutist monarchy and established the principle of parliamentary supremacy, underwent significant strains and conflicts at that time, with demands for greater democracy in political and economic life. Britain’s bureaucratic constitutionalism, which had replaced the absolute Tudor and Stuart monarchies, managed to weather the storm more or less intact (Ertman ...

The thesis of this paper is to search for evidence in book I of John Milton’s Paradise Lost that proves that Milton made Satan a more attractive and sympathetic character, and to answer whether we can consider the Devil as a fallen hero, as Milton apparently depicts him. If we are to consider the possibility that Satan is hero in Milton’s Paradise Lost, then we must also consider his own politics too. According to William Hazlitt, Satan is “the most heroic subject ever chosen in a poem” (Hazlitt 107) of course he is referring to Milton’s ...

One of the intellectual effects of the Third Reich has been to identify Germany in the mind of the world with the horrors of the Holocaust. To many in the outside world, the swastika is what people associate with Germany, meaning that the other aspects of German history, ranging from Charlemagne to Friedrich Barbarossa to Helmut Kohl, rarely if ever enter the popular consciousness. However, there is much to German history that has nothing to do with the insane painter who ended up murdering millions, including that curious period of history between the founding of the German nation in ...

In the years preceding the Revolutionary War, many colonists were content with life in the colonies. On occasion there were grumblings about new taxes or laws passed by the British Parliament and the king. Overall, colonists were pleased with the life they had in the colonies and considered themselves English citizens who were loyal to the king. As the taxes grew, many colonists became angry with the perceived abuses that were beginning to pile upon them as a result of English Rule. Documents saved from the few years prior to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War show the differences ...

Journalism is a field that can have many faces. One may even go as far as saying that this industry is the best one when it comes to making perfect disguise. Throughout history, it can be attested that journalism and political science has been merged, perhaps subconsciously by the people working in these fields. In modern day politics, for example, a stage where democracy appears to be the dominant player, as evidenced by the fact that the number of counties that are based on a democratic and liberal type of government is far larger than those that are based ...

In order to understand the role of women in Victoria’s England, it would be of interest to study the role of women during the Roman Empire. Why this is important, is because, there is a lot of similarities in the way England was ruled in comparison to Rome. The Roman society was undoubtedly dominated by men, and this is evident by the names of great leaders such as Julius Caesar, and Augustus. The Roman Catholic Church too had a huge role to play in the social and cultural life of the people of Rome. Despite evidences drawn from ...
