In this speech he talks about the violence in Longton he says, "I warned all who had been part of it that they were not the friends, but the enemies of freedom. I told them that this strike for the Charter would bring ruin, if those who claimed to be its supports broke on law". From this source we can see that he believes the violence undermined the Chartist cause. He states that if the people involved in the violence admitted to being Chartists then they would essentially just been seen as a bunch of hooligans which is evidently not the image the Chartists were going for when they needed to be taken seriously amongst a cabinet completely full of middle to upper class Ministers. Thomas Cooper clearly believed that any violence would undermine the cause.
A breakdown in parliament then occurred because Charles realized the parliamentary attack on Buckingham was increasing so in 1625 dissolved his first Parliament in order to protect his close companion. The close relationship of Charles and The Duke of Buckingham enabled Buckingham to have security and potential access to more than Charles realised. The Cadiz Expedition is a prime example of Buckingham failures. Both Charles and Buckingham decided to attack one of Spain’s main ports to destroy as many of the Spanish fleet as possible. (Troops were raised but mostly untrained).
Page 293: More Festa testimony. Page 294: Black, as customary with all cases, made a motion that the government had failed to prove its accusations. And the judge threw out the bribery charge. Page 295: The judge would only tell the jury that the bribery charge was “no longer available for your consideration.” Black lays out the summary of the defense. Page 296: Reluctantly, Black rested without Fred's testimony, he was scared that he would open up latitude for a new charge.
Samuel Eliot in Zinn’s perspective covers up the truth with non-important facts misleading readers to think that “yes, mass murder took place, but it’s not that important.” 6. The major issues that Bartolome de las Casas brought up regarding Spanish expeditions in the Caribbean involved the anxiety of Columbus to please the King that led him to commit irreparable crimes against the Indians and the need for Spaniards to become more conceited every day. Their total control over the Indians led to their cruelty over them. 7. One early and one subsequent
His comment ultimately set the attitude and conflict of the story. The shocking act of smearing the rug with excrement eventually leads to the rug’s complete destruction, which then leads to another court hearing, and another act of revenge. For having his rug destroyed Mr. de Spain seeks payment of a hundred dollars but knowing Abner’s living conditions he made an agreement in which he asked for twenty bushels of corn. Abner’s destruction is a swipe at the financial security that the de Spain has and that Abner lacks, as well as a clear statement of his unhappiness at being the subservient to de Spain for his livelihood. Extending his criminal reach to the rug signals that Abner’s resentment now encompasses the domestic sphere as well.
There were two aristocrat brothers (Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus) acknowledged this growing problem and proposed a solution to this growing problem. The plan was to urge the council to take back public land held by large land owners and to redistribute it to the landless Romans. Senators were furious by this proposal and had the two brothers assassinated further after. There was absolutely no voice for the plebes in the roman republic. And the only aristocrats who stood up for change were assassinated by corrupt senators.
They said it because they were trying to get away from where they were because they had just scammed a group of people and they had to leave before they were caught. They also lied to Huck and Jim and told them that they were kings, and they had to listen to them because they were royalty. In the end the duke and dauphin ended up selling Jim for the money without Huck knowing anything about it and when Huck found out that the duke and dauphin sold Jim he was devastated and wanted to go and save Jim right away. Another example of obsession with material wealth would be when duke and dauphin pretended to be Mary Jane’s uncles and her late father’s brothers, just so they could steal the money that they heard Mary Jane’s had from her father. They pretended to have a French accent, and duke pretended to be a preacher.
Charles was an advocate of the Divine Right of Kings and as his subjects; we feared that he was attempting to gain absolute power. He totally ignored the Magna Carta and showed no respect on ruling lawfully. Charles invaded the House of Common and tried to murder the leader of H.O.C. He also forced people to pay money only for his own needs. Why do we need a king that’s so selfish and disrespectful to rule our country?
Sir Patrick Hastings, the Attorney General, initially advised Ramsay MacDonald, the Prime Minister, to prosecute Campbell under the Incitement to Mutiny Act 1797. The case was handled dreadfully and Ramsay MacDonald faced a motion of no confidence in the House of Commons over the way he had dealt with the case. The opposition parties accused the minority Labour government of being under the influence of the Communist Party of Great Britain. In the debate that took place on 8th October, MacDonald gave an uninspiring account of events and when he lost the motion by 304 to 191 votes, he decided to resign and a general election was announced for Wednesday, 29th October,
This led to further economic collapse that hit its climax 1777. So in order for the government to dig its way out of this huge hole was for it to create new taxes, Calonne attempted to do this by side stepping the parliament which only resulted in a Nobles revolt and a call for an estates general. Brienne became the new minister to replace Calonne, however although his many attempts to try to fix the national debt and end the crisis he was sabotaged by Louis XVI and disgraced. Once again France was at this fragile point in its economy and with the high national debt and the high taxes that the 3rd estate, and second estate were paying it made it the perfect environment for a
