Although we are currently in a coalition the government still has a majority through the combination of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. This therefore often renders opposition as a form of scrutiny meaningless and also means that it is difficult for the executive to be held to account. Party loyalty is also very strong. The power of prime ministerial patronage renders many MPs excessively docile and loyal, hence the term ‘lobby fodder’. With the rise in the professional politician many prefer to remain loyal in order to gain power and move up in the hierarchy as opposed to become a rebel who remains in the back benchers.
However it could be argued that Wilhelm II’s aims to crush socialism in response to Caprivi’s tolerance for Socialism in his years as chancellor disagree with this view as it suggests he is aiming for more of an autocratic state where he holds state control. Another notable factor which suggests Germany was a parliamentary democracy is Wilhelm II could ignore the views of the centre party; failed attempts to previously dismiss them such as the Kulturkampf were a failure because the party’s strong political views are extremely influential, and they have always had a substantial amount of seats in the party. This in turn meant the government was influenced by the parliament. However, there were many events which demonstrate the Kaiser
Those Republicans who considered themselves to be liberal would be forced to choose the Democratic party and hold to their liberal ways or stay Republican and become more conservative due to Reagan’s conservative stance; likewise, Democrats would be forced to strengthen their ties to a true liberal stance. By the end of this election the two party system would be categorized by a much more polarized spectrum. This helped create a shift in how the regions voted. Southern conservatives would have to now vote for the Republican party if they wanted to stay conservative as would interest groups such as the Christian alliance groups. In 1976 Carter won the presidency largely due to his Christian voting base, and deep into his campaign of 19890 controlled the support of evangelical Christians even though all the candidates were active religious Christian according to a Gallup poll.
The revolution forced by the Bourgeoisie was for the third estate as well the first two estates to be treated equally. The causes of the two revolutions were very different. The Americans wanted to be out from under the British control. The reason for this is because ever though the Americans and still be considered British colonist, through passing generation the emotional connection to the mother land has been lost. The colonist of America to their self no bigger believed they were or wanted to be British citizens so the Americans dragged Britain in 1775 by starting the revolution and the creating their own government in 1776.
Henry was exposed to the pull of the factions but a new aristocratic approach to the government strengthened the conservative faction however with the arrest of Duke of Norfolk (1547) and the dismissal of Gardiner from the Privy Chamber the reformists gained the much needed advantage . This shows that there was a threat to the stability of the government as Henrys most trusted councillors seemed to become more radically involved in the faction rivalry during the last 8 years of Henrys reign. This may have added pressure on Henry and his deteriorating health thus he may have not been able
The Green Party Versus the Democratic and Republican Parties The term “Politics” derives a varied response by the American People. In general, a person may term himself as either a Democrat or a Republican, but it is important to put the focus past these mainstream ideas. These two parties are not as different as many may believe, and one particular third-party comes to mind as a true democratic, “for the people” approach to domestic affairs. While looking at major issues such as universal health care, unions and wages, and global warming, one would notice that the stands taken by both the Democratic and Republican parties are very similar. The Green party stands for taking direct action.
Then the red scare had come along, and people were reverting back to a more secure lifestyle. Instead of living the atheistic, work all day, violent lifestyle they saw the Communists had, they decided to combine a fun, religious, and patriotic lifestyle to be the “American life”. This was further enhanced in the 1980s by the most conservative president of them all, Ronald Reagan. Also the emergence of the new Evangelical Christians played an important role in daily American life. Weak points: • Conservatism was not specifically defined to encompass a group to it • The people who had lived back and forth were not a majority of the people.
This increased the number of years required for immigrants to qualify for U.S citizens from 5 years to 14 years. The federalists adopted these laws because they wanted to stay in power, and since they were aware of the fact that many of the immigrants would vote for their opposing party, this act ensured that they couldn’t vote. George Washington thought that immigration could help unite the country as a whole if there was an intermixture of cultures. (Doc. A) What is ironic is that Jefferson, one of the men who was most apposed of the Alien and Sedition Acts, looked down on immigration.
Jess Seng Mr.Nassida AP History 15 April 2012 Liberal or Conservative Liberals and Conservatives have some really unique qualities to them. Liberals tend to lean more towards Patriot ideals such as the rejection of nobility and organized religion, as well as the right to life, liberty, and property. Conservatives, like the Tories, believed there should be minimal, gradual change in the country and they supported monarchies. FDR and Hoover might not show signs of all these things, but the main ideas of each still linger in today’s political parties. The idea that Hoover was a Conservative and FDR a Liberal are in fact completely correct.
Democratic Republicans all in all wanted things to remain the same in the U.S government because they felt that giving more power to the national government by way of national bank or tax would slowly get rid of the people’s voice in politics creating a rerun of the previous outcome with Great Britain. Both party’s with opposite beliefs going back and forth has followed the U.S since this time in history it is safe to say that the First Party System left behind a legacy of feuding in government politics. When it comes to decision
