Rachel Kay How accurate is it to say Frederick William IV was responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament? The Frankfurt Parliament was established to create freedom of press, German citizenship for all, fair taxation, equality of political rights and to create a unified Germany. However, countries like Austria greatly opposed it. Frederick William IV could be seen as responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament because he refused to accept any form of leadership and made it clear he distrusted the ‘gentlemen of Frankfurt’. However, many other factors played a role in the demise of the Parliament such as the fact that they were ill-organised, the lack of popular support and their inability to enforce decisions.
France got affected economically which made the people of France lose hope on monarch. The enlightenment was a more important cause because without that the people would have not thought the American Revolution as a big turning point. The critical thinking that the enlightenment bought about caused the people to look at it from another
nch RAmerican and French Revolution Two revolutions sparked change in the late 1700’s. The first is the American Revolution, and then came the French revolution. When considering the American and French revolutions little is in common between them, other than both being started for liberty. The difference such as the causes of each revolution. The methods used by the Americans and the French and the outcome of both revolutions are vast and for more significant.
He did nothing to help his case with the League of Nations. He would have it his way or he would not approve of it. (Doc C) This is what made it so weird when Wilson urged his supporters to go against his own proposal. Many people harshly judged Wilson for this as they should have. Even liberals like W.E.B.
The act of knocking down King George III statue represented a great political change between England and America (Doc. A). The political system formed by the American revolution also greatly differed from Europe. That was because the sense of the American government is that because all men are created equal and the government got their power from the people (Doc B). The American Revolution was revolutionary by bringing change in economy.
The failure of foreign policy in the years 1514-1525 can be attributed to many things. The combination of Henry's isolation from European affairs and the fact that his attempts to raise tax were ultimately unpopular failures, meant that he had no way to impose himself upon Europe. Even when he did manage to scrape together the finances needed for a strong foreign policy his reliance on his allies led to disaster. As soon as Henry took the throne in 1509, it was obvious that he was a king that wanted to fight a war. However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country.
It didn’t help matters when he had a mental breakdown in 1453 which rendered him useless to the country and left the throne to Richard of York to become the protector. He was seen as a weak king as he did not like to fight on the battlefield and many regents called into service which suggests that Henry was not capable to ruling as king. Corruption within the local and national governments was partially caused by favouritism, an example of someone the King had shown particular favour upon would be William De La Pole (the duke of Suffolk) who had later fallen out of favour by opposing the King in his views towards the war in France. He had later found himself banished, and ended up washed up on the shores of Devon, beheaded. The main reason for his banishment being that he had wanted to continue with the war in France whereas the king wanted peace.
This meant they were arguing over welfare, the fall of Muller government and what they would do with the benefit system. This caused even more conflict between the two sides. At the time of the depression Muller was chancellor, he faced serious problems over the welfare system that was in place, he didn’t know what to do with it. Due to this Muller resigned and Brunning took his place. Brunning wanted to change things, but laws can’t be passed without the Reichstag.
Anthony Murphree Mrs.Hartman Period 6 2/20/13 End Electoral Vote System The Electoral College system is no longer useful in today’s society and needs to be removed from the presidential voting system. When it was first created it was used because the framers did not have anything better to put in its place at the time. The Electoral College does not even do what it was originally intended to do (Encourage candidates to take small states seriously). It is also only used in the most important election, it was removed other elections because it was felt that the system was unfair. The Electoral College system is faulty and needs to be removed from the presidential voting system.
Causes of the French Revolution France in 1789 was one of the richest and most powerful nations in Europe. Only in Great Britain and the Netherlands did the common people have more freedom and less chance of arbitrary punishment. Nonetheless, a popular rebellion would bring the regime of King Louis XVI of France under the control of a constitution, then it would depose, imprison, try, and execute the king and, later, his wife Marie Antoinette. Many factors led to the revolution; to some extent the old order succumbed to its own rigidity in the face of a changing world; to some extent, it fell to the ambitions of a rising bourgeoisie, allied with aggrieved peasants and wage-earners and with individuals of all classes who were influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment. As the revolution proceeded and as power devolved from the monarchy to legislative bodies, the conflicting interests of these initially allied groups would become the source of conflict and bloodshed.
