Question: Do you agree with the view that the NHS was the most important domestic reform passed my Clement Attlee’s Labour government of 1945-50? Use sources 4, 5 and 6 and your own knowledge. During the time Labour were in power, from 1945-50, several vital reforms had been passed by Clement Attlee, Labour’s leader.

In 1945, the British viceroy handed power back to India freely. Mohandas Gandhi fought with nonviolence before the British handed over the power back to India. Gandhi describes the positive motives for a nonviolence approach to Indian independence, “Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering…” (Doc 3) India was a huge asset to the British Empire especially during World War II. Gandhi said, “I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire.” (Doc 3) He yelled this statement during the Salt March. Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of Kenya and leader for independence, stated, “The land is ours.
The Welfare State was set up to make sure that UK citizens had an acceptable minimum living standard and were looked after “from the cradle to the grave”. After 1945 the Welfare State was created following the Beveridge Report. The Report identified Five Giant Evils in UK Society - squalor, idleness, disease, ignorance and want.

The 1975 Constitutional crisis of Australia is arguably the most significant political event of the period of 1945 to 1990. It arose during the Whitlam governments’ time in office from 1972 to 1975. The crisis saw the breaking of many political conventions that served to uphold the effectiveness of the political system and culminated with the Prime Minister Gough Whitlam’s dismissal by Sir John Kerr. At the time the crisis shook the very foundations of Australia’s political system, however it is argued that, with better management of the key factors that were influential during the crisis years by those involved, the crisis itself could have been avoided almost entirely. The years of the Constitutional Crisis are pockmarked with numerous short-comings and failures, mainly perpetuated by the key political figures involved in the crisis.
He was multidirectional and knowledgeable in various subjects, especially in politics and administration. Also, he was widely known as the author of the Declaration of Independence.

This curious nature is personified throughout the protagonistVictor Frankenstein, who tragically falls victim to
‘Between 1906-1914 the real causes of poverty were tackled successfully by government action.’ To what extent would you agree with this statement? This type of question asks you wither the Liberals through their social reforms of 1906-1914 dealt with the 4 main causes of poverty as stated by Booth and Rowntree. These were: • The Young • Old Age • Sickness • Unemployment What do I do first? The first thing you have to do before you can agree or disagree with this statement is say what the real causes of poverty were. You have plenty of evidence of this.
Beveridge stated that the problem of a diminishing population, made it 'imperative to give first place in social expenditure to the care of childhood and to the safeguarding of maternity'. Other areas covered were unemployment, disability and retirement. The economic situation and his vision for provision rates of benefit and contribution and how they might be managed made up a large section of his report. In 1945, Clement Attlee and the Labour Party defeated Winston Churchill's Conservative Party in the election. Attlee announced the introduction of the Welfare State as outlined in the Beveridge Report.
The Constitution is relevant because the Constitution undergirds our country, minimal complications have risen with it. And because of the difficulty in creating a whole new document that will be as effective as our beloved Constitution. The Constitution presents the entirety our government is and will ever be. The Constitution explains our branches of government: the executive, the legislative and judicial branches. It establishes the extent to which each individual branch can oversee, as well as the limitations each branch represents.
