Moreover, Richard III was very good at politics, having a lavish court and is good at using propaganda, yet he is highly unpopular among both the people and the nobility; his reign only lasts two years before the throne is usurped by Henry Tudor. Therefore, while both the main Yorkist Kings during this period did go some way to restoring royal authority in England, their successes were limited. Edward IV was successful at restoring royal authority as he was able to control the different regions of the Kingdom, such as the North and Wales, through the use of magnates. During his reign, Edward makes Richard, his brother, the duke of Gloucester, and puts Rivers in charge of Wales and his son. This meant that these areas, which were traditionally either pro-Lancastrian or prone to rebellion, were more controlled during Edward IV’s reign, which helped to restore royal authority.
Not just the way they were settled made them different but also how their religious ways shaped them up. Virginia and Massachusetts both knew they had to have a strong economic settlement but their religious view also had a great impact that resulted differently in both systems. The Puritans which lived in Massachusetts; they believed that there was no need for excessive profits. Another problem Virginia had was that from the start they had problems with the Native Americans. Which was the complete opposite in the Massachusetts case because they learned it would be better if they got along with the natives.
Reparations had been reorganised once again and the improved terms of the Young's plan meant that Weimer Republic's problem was feasible and it could overcome its pain of deficit without struggle. Even though the Young Plan was certainly more advantageous than the original Treaty of Versailles, Young Plan was still regarded as a failure by many Germans than success in itself. Many people, especially the German nationalists, opposed The Young Plan as they believed that accepting the Young Plan meant accepting defeat overall. It meant
(doc 3) The attitude Han shows is both positive and negative because the people will either agree or disagree with some of the inventions made. Roman attitude towards technology was characterized to show off their power rather than simpler innovations. Technology in Rome was limited and not all that interesting, The only technology that interested them was improved weapons. No reason to improve led to a decline in their society. Some believed when Rome could not expand anymore, their culture and society died.
However, he still managed to win some bills such as the energy bill and housing sectors bill. The failure that George W. Bush experienced during his second term was his inability to select bills that could earn support of some Democrats instead they did not appeal to the Democrats, and it was very easy for them to oppose the bill thus hurting his presidency by weakening it as he failed to unify them. The Immigration reform appealed to the Democrats but it did not go well with some Conservative Republicans, who opposed it and he responded by attacking his base. Therefore, the Democrats gained an upper hand against the divided Republicans (Graham, 2010). The natural disaster the Katrina Hurricane saw the Bush administration come under fire as many cried against the
The Great Reform Act also achieved the majority of the middle classes’ aims by giving them the vote and by protecting their property although the benefits to the middle class were certainly less pronounced than those enjoyed by the Whigs. The Working class and radicals however, would have seen the act as a great betrayal to all that they had actively campaigned for in the period of excitement for reform leading up to 1832 as it actually decreased their political power in most instances. The Radicals and the Working class would have felt moved towards indignation and would have been deeply disillusioned by the Great Reform Act which was passed in 1832. It was described as ‘a trick’ by Felix Holt in a contemporary novel in which the middle class who had so championed the principle of reform in their effective leadership of the working class yet had been appeased and bought off by the Great Reform Act in the eyes of the working class. Some of the changes introduced by the act may have at first seemed extremely significant and progressive yet at a
The movement was based around the six-point charter, which though was classed by many liberals as fair and democratic it can be argued that it was too radical for the time period 1836-58 thus being the reason as why Chartism failed. However in Source 6 Robert Ellis argues that though Chartism failed to achieve its primary aims, it united the working-class and produced the ability to of the working-class to “be organised on an unprecedented scale in support of a political programme. Source 6 further expresses how Chartism succeeded with producing “improvements in literacy and communication” strengthening the position of the working class people. Political dissatisfaction had built up amongst the working and middle class in Britain during the industrial revolution in the 19th Century. As a result of lack of political equality and social justice, in June 1840 the National Chartist Association was formed and the first stage of Chartism commenced.
Different to Durkheim and Malinowski, Parsons said that religion promotes consensus by doing two things; it answers the big questions in life and religious laws and society’s laws go hand in hand. For example, questions like ‘is there life after death?’ and ‘how was the world created?’ both can be given plausible answers from religion. Bellah also says that society is in need of collective rituals and civil religion reaffirms these group values. An example is Americanism and Football, they aren’t religions but they bring people together in the same way. Overall, the Functionalists ignore secularisation and conflict and their focus on the positive functions
Of course, the ineptitude of the opposition was also key, many Liberals in particular had the opportunity to humiliate Disraeli but failed to do so, meaning his reputation was perhaps far more positive post-reform than it ought to have been. The Conservatives had been seen as a party that had previously shied away from reform, yet if this bill was passed, they would satisfy the naysayers like the Radicals and members of the Reform League, and increase their chances of being re-elected as the next government. Many of the policies Disraeli chose to include were signs that he was attempting to appeal to certain groups in order to win their vote. By granting the skilled working man the vote, they would be more likely to vote Conservative, which was crucial given the proportion of the electorate this group was. In addition, Disraeli ensured the inclusion of safeguards in an attempt to persuade other senior figures to support the bill or his party.
Declaratory Act The British colonies and America were bristling under the rule of Britain. They thought the rules and regulations of their government were unfair and left little behind to develop the respective countries. Britain implemented many Acts, including the Declaratory Act, during this time in the 1700s. The colonists eventually boycott them due to their severity. As such, many fought against such Acts, as they did the Stamp Act, which was eventually overturned.
