Not only did they westernized their education with modern sciences and modern life, but they also made a frame for the to establish laws and courts of justice (Document3). The British built a strong and efficient administration ran the government for the Indians, deciding that they would not be able to run their government properly, became a problem later for India. Imperialism may have been a positive force for India in many ways, but the economic gain benefitted
This was most likely why the British government did not support the plan, as it would have given the colonists even more power to self govern, and would have allowed the Colonies to have more power of taxation during a time where Britain was beginning to levy more taxes on them. However, had
In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson explained how governments should not be overthrown for petty reasons, but he believed the King of Great Britain had taken the situation too far. The New England economy was growing, and the colonist gradually began to think and act independently from England. Therefore, England initiated Parliament
From Pearson, “Let us suppose we could prevent the white man, if we liked, from going to lands of which the agricultural and mineral resources are not worked to the full; then I should say a thousand times better for him that he should not go than that he should settle down and live alongside the inferior race”. From this excerpt, we can see that one reason for countries to start colonization is because of to utilize the natural resources of the earth better and with more efficiency. Also, the intervention of the colonial power were to bring “free markets” and trade-routes for their
Also holding on to this great superpower status was largely to do with the fact that Britain still had an Empire, inevitably making them feel more superior to the other European countries, this was a lack of realism as after both Suez Crisis and the formation of the EEC Britain began to understand that they were missing out. The scale at which Britain had failed was only determined when the EEC boomed, making the fact that were previously invited a harder pill to swallow. Joining became the main priority for Britain. Now that the lack of realism had dawned on Britain, its desperation grew as the EEC became more and more influential showing that the previously thought unbeneficial agreement was now in Britain’s interests, as most of the popular trade routes where now run by the EEC. The EEC gave Britain the cold shoulder 3 times regarding entry as they believed Britain to be a liability
Disagreements erupted over how the colonies felt that they should be treated and the way they were actually treated by Britain. The British stance was that the colonies were created for the benefit of Britain and the Colonialists wanted more say in their own existence. One main cause of the revolution was that the Colonists wanted more representation within the British government hence “no taxation without representation”, (Hickman n.d.), Britain was unwilling to do this. Another factor was the geographical distance between Britain and the Colonists, this created a sense of independence with in the colonies. Britain therefore tried to tighten control over the Colonists through a series of acts designed to quell any sense of rebellion.
Politicians were workmen worthy of their hire. However, even if altruistic disinterest was discarded as impractical, the concept of virtue was democratized. The new government of the early 19th century carried forward the belief that “Without virtue and self sacrifice the republic would fall apart.” The second great awakening in the first half of the 19th century sought to establish morality on a broad scale. Being good was no longer the special province of the aristocracy. Good governance depended upon it.
Macquarie believed convicts should have the chance to contribute to the growth and integrity of the colony and encouraged them to do so. Bigge, however, did not like this point of view. The Bigge Report believed that convicts should be treated with chastisement and, according to the Bigge report; they believed that convicts under Macquarie’s care should be given sterner treatment with punitive reprimands. They took it upon themselves to disparage Macquarie’s name for expenditure on public works and his need to make Sydney a better and a more civilized settlement. However, Lachlan Macquarie was not going to let anything stop him from completing his work so he travelled to England to see if he could salvage his once good name.
These arguments, although they do not specifically state to physically riot against authority, become enabling factors by which the population should rebel. To begin with, Paine argues that the population of each individual colony would be subjected to better living should they be responsible for their own governing laws. Rather than follow the set rules of the British monarchy, Paine suggests the citizens should “establish a common interest with every part of the community, [and] they will mutually and naturally support each other.” (Paine, 49) Next, he argues that the British monarchy is very complex, contradictory, and unfair to its citizens. For instance, Paine notes that the monarchy “first excludes a man from the means of information, yet empowers him to act in cases where the highest judgment is required.” (Paine, 50) The contradictory case does not just end here, it is also witnessed in the fact that the monarchy continues through the act of hereditary succession – whereby the King’s descendent automatically becomes heir to the throne. He
