S7 also highlights the importance of the conscription crisis, which can be argued to be a result of British ignorance, or the manipulation and stirring up by the revolutionary party Sinn Fein which also had a key role in the conflict. Finally it can also be argued that other factors were involved, which allowed the Irish conflict to be triggered, such as the failure of Home Rule and the breakdown of the IPP particularly during the Ulster Crisis, and after the Easter Rebellion of 1914. To an extent, it can be argued that the main cause of the Anglo-Irish conflict of 1919-21 was nationalist extremism. Hepburn asses that 'their [extremists] first opportunity' arose during the Ulster Crisis, in events such as the Larne gun-running incident April 1914, which ultimately resulted a race between extreme nationalists and Ulster Unionists to become armed . The source describes how the extremists then spiralled
Although it was fleeting, the fabricated "popish plot" (1678-1681) conspiracy had immediate social, political, and religious consequences for English society in the late seventeenth century. Invented by Titus Oates, this far-fetched story of a large-scale Catholic conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II and replace him with his brother James created widespread anti-Catholic hysteria among English Protestants and non-conformists at the lowest and highest levels of society. By the time the plot was proved a fiction in 1681, many English Catholics, especially Jesuits, had been harassed; some Catholics were persecuted, others were jailed, and some two dozen innocent men had already been executed. The anti-Catholic hysteria manifested itself socially, politically, and religiously in a variety of ways. Although its effects reached as far as Ireland (where some Irish Catholics such as Oliver Plunkett were executed), the popish plot had the greatest impact around London, which was England's largest city.
To what extent did the Liberals, Conservatives, IPP, the Ulster Unionists and the Southern achieve their political objectives during the Home Rule crisis of 1912-14? During the third Home Rule bill crisis of 1912-1914 there was many differing objectives among those who lived in Ireland and those in Westminster who governed Ireland. The Liberal Party and the Irish Parliamentary Party, otherwise known as the IPP, wanted Home Rule for all of Ireland. However the Conservative Party and Ulster and Southern Unionists wanted to prevent Home Rule completely. Home Rule for Ireland meant that an Independent Irish Parliament would stand in Dublin to govern Irish affairs, still having an Irish representation in Westminster, whilst Westminster would govern all issues to do with the crown, defence and imperial government.
When he became king in 1687, James set out to seek equality for Catholics which caused extreme controversy and affected both England and Ireland. Being a Catholic king in Great Britain was an unheard of thing and was no doubt a great struggle for James. However, it was not without its advantages. The King had great support both from Irish Catholics who had suffered greatly over the last century at the hands of Protestant power from Britain. He also had great support coming from the King of France.
The Puritans wanted to alter practices promoted by the Anglican Church as well as decrease the power of the discriminatory and corrupt bishops. After the death of the last Tudor, Elizabeth, King James I began to overtax the Puritans. The Puritans, persecuted by the King and angered by his favor towards the Catholics, had a falling out with England and therefore were voluntary candidates for colonists in the New World. Upon arrival in the New World; however, they preceded to practice intolerance towards others outside of their group. Puritan Massachusetts or the “city upon a hill” for example, instilled a theocratic government in which it was treason to oppose any Puritan practice.

Throughout history, many empirical decisions have affected the artistic world in both positive and negative ways. Arguably one of the most impactful decisions made when Emperor Leo the III instituted the removal of an image of Christ from the cross. This began a dark part of religious art in the Byzantine Emperor known as the Iconoclasm. Debates and arguments over this decision spread ravenously and splits were occurring throughout all classes of power. From the Emperor and his royal people, to the religious leaders and the laity there was disorder.
The emergence of Wishart’s protégé John Knox in the pre-reformation years further illustrate the Catholic faith’s need for reform following centuries of hypocrisy, immoral behaviour, abuses of power and nepotism and this is clearly shown by the text from Hamilton. A staunch supporter of the monarch, Archbishop Hamilton saw the predicament facing his Queen on her return with the political and religious forums beginning to incorporate Protestantism and with its influence spreading further through society, he possibly viewed this as an opportunity to get back to basics, to stem the flow and to return his flock to pious deeds under the Catholic strand of Christianity. Another possible reason for this text may lie in the Regency of Mary of Guise and the increasing French influence once again in the Scottish Royal Court coupled with Cardinal Beaton’s overzealous hunting of heretics in the years prior to his murder creating definite anti-French, anti-Catholic feeling
The Great Schism (Overview) The Great Schism that occurred in the Catholic Church between 1378 and 1417 saw rival popes contend for papal authority. The schism greatly added to existing problems within the Church and did much to further divide a European continent already burdened with war and disease. It began in AD 1378 with the election of Pope Urban VI, who, upon his election, began a series of reforms that greatly upset a largely French College of Cardinals. In anger, they elected their own pope and removed to France. Each pope excommunicated his rival's followers and courted kings for support, thus starting a rift within the Church that made an already uneasy situation worse.
STATUTORY INTERPRETATION: INTRODUCTION:- This is the procedure by which Judges and or courts define laws or statutes made in parliament. They endeavour to bring to bear upon the verdict in the cases. The definition deals not only with the exact law, but with the judicial content and the words expressed in its application. In some cases there is ambiguity and vagueness within the contents and the easy misconstruction of words or clauses that outline or formulate statutes at times can be mix up. The incorrect interpretation can lead to the possible misuse when applying legislation, and the malfunction of justice.
