Throughout history, many government systems have been created to guide countries. I think United States represents Democracy by choosing its President, freedom to petition the government, the different points of views Hamilton and Jefferson had for the United States and the Declaration of Independence. Before the United States won their independence, they were under control of the British Monarchy, which was a government where a king or queen has all the power. During this time, most of the Colonists ' (Americans ') rights were taken away. These topics are discussed in the United States Constitution, Petition to the Massachusetts General Assembly, Thomas Jefferson: The Best of Enemies and Thomas Jefferson: The Declaration of Independence.

Gianna Gerami Mr. Ausman 10-4-17 MWH 4th period English Bill Of Rights Paper The English Bill Of Rights is an act that creates separation of power between the monarch and the parliament. It also enhances the laws, the parliament of England passed these laws on December,16, 1689. The English Bill Of Rights is and was an act of parliament. During the Glorious Revolution, King James II left the country. He was replaced by his daughter Mary and her husband William.

The United States selected an impartial jury system based on the Magna Carta that was originated in England in the 1400s. The colonists brought the jury system with them from Great Britain. The jury gave citizens power to go against what the king wanted in court. The king then established a special court system that only allowed royal judges made the decisions. The colonists listed this is a reason to separate from England in the Declaration of Independence.

Oliphant 's Opaque Opinion Before Franklin Roosevelt 's New Deal, court justices referenced the Constitution in order to ensure economic liberty and prevention of encroachment upon private property. This conservative court was quick to strike down many of the New Deal initiatives, until there was a power shift on the bench in 1937. This historical context goes to show how a simple change in partisan power within the legal system has the potential to dramatically recalibrate the U.S. Supreme Court. In fact, just one justice has the capacity to have a strong influence within the courtroom. Correspondingly, James Oliphant composed "Tipping the Scales" which canvasses John Roberts role as Chief Justice.

His name was Edmund Burke who supported the idea of the American Revolution. Parliament was the lawmaking body of England and a huge problem for the colonists as well. As a member of Parliament, Burke had to take a huge risk to take to oppose Parliament itself. In February 3, 1766, Burke spoke his Notes for a speech in Parliament which was basically the geographical barrier between the America and Great Britain. In a way, Burke did have a good reason to let America have their independence.

However, England longed for the return of a civilian government which led to the Glorious Revolution that occurred in 1688. The Glorious Revolution destroyed the idea of divine-right monarchy. William and Mary acknowledged the English throne knowing that the ultimate power in the state was to be divided between the king and Parliament. The monarchy of England thus went towards a constitutional direction. Another example that triggered change was the English Bill of Rights in 1689.

Before writing Common Sense a lot of the political theories created by other philosophers were implemented within the pamphlet and also argued. For example, Montesquieu developed the theory of the separation of powers, a theory written within the constitution and adopted by many other nations. We are also given Paine’s perspectives on certain issues like the implementation of a constitutional monarchy, which was formulated by John Locke, in which Paine argued on what’s the point of having a monarch where certain limits could be avoided due to the monarch’s influence. That is why the English constitution involves a house of commons who are appointed by the king, known to be wiser helps keeps the king’s power in check, but lacks the power to create or pass laws which contradicts Montesquieu theory. By following this, Paine states “that the king is not to be trusted without being looked after; or in other words, that a thirst for absolute power is the natural disease of monarchy.” From this statement Paine gives us the key issue towards this system of government, where separation of powers will play a large role within our democratic system, so that the President can avoid having absolute power.

Parliament knew they could not rule without a king, so they decided to replace Charles. During the English Civil War, justice is best understood as doing what is right to protect the majority. King Charles had a different idea, he wanted to rule the majority to his advantage. Putting King Charles was both just and

To begin with a vital event with King George III and patriots, taxation without representation. “He taxes us without permission,” briefly stated in the paraphrased declaration of independence. 1764, the British parliament passed down a new law which was truthfully an amended variant of the sugar and molasses act of 1733, that of which was about to go past it’s expiration date. The Sugar Act was intended to finance the defence of the colonies, it was one of the first tangible signs of Britain’s intent to gain tighter control over colonial trade. These measures led to widespread

The Stamp Act was repealed on March 18, 1766. However, the British Parliament wanted to send a message to the colonies. The Stamp Act may not have been a good way to tax the colonies, but they still felt they had the right to tax the colonies. The same day they repealed the Stamp Act, they passed the Declaratory Act, which stated that the British Parliament had the right to make laws and taxes in the

Before 1660, England had governed the Chesapeake and New England colonies loosely, allowing the colonies to develop their own system of government which regulated affairs. Shortly afterward, decisions about taxation were decided by the British Parliament. Radicals such as Benjamin Franklin proposed, “ If you choose to tax us give us Members in your Legislature, and let us be one People.” Unwilling to cause tension with

While with the Articles of Confederation, it was the states that held majority of the power and jurisdiction of the United States; these powers were being granted to the new National Government. The individual state governments would though maintain some of the authoritarian power that was granted in the Articles of Confederation. This was a major concern of our founding fathers, they did not want a national government that would become so powerful, that its’ citizenry would become its subjects such as that they revolted against, England. So of this fear was born the separation of powers between the different branches of the national government. Both houses of the legislature would have to agree on a cause for a law to be enacted, and once approved it would be sent to the newly created executive branch for that elected official to sign into law.

Why is the new Constitution is doing this, because the under the Articles of Confederation,states regulate their own trade and other states tax one another’s products and looks seems like this is a separate nation; and the free flow of goods from one state to another is necessary for America to progress. So this why the new Constitution should be ratified and so this problem could be fixed and change to make us our nation a better

Constitutionalism was defined as a form of government limiting the power of the authority (AP study). Parliament consisted of two houses, the House of Lords and the House of Commons, which gave the nobility and the common people representation. There was a debate whether or not England should remain absolute or change to constitutionalism known as the English Civil War. As a result, the drafters of the Bill of Rights outlined what a political authority should look like. The Bill of Rights stated, “religion, laws, and liberties might not again be in danger of being subverted” (Bill of Rights, 1).

We are gathered here today to discuss a serious problem, I am John Butler and must stay connected to Great Britain. our heritage ties up with Britain and we will never loose this English heritage. This is causing our beloved king to punish us with taxes and horrendous acts upon us. We the people of America are being controlled by the patriot’s actions. Joseph Galloway said in 1774, “If we sincerely mean to accommodate the difference between the two countries, and to establish their union on more firm and constitutional principles, we must take into consideration a number of facts which led the Parliament to pass the acts complained of, since the year 1763, and the real state of the Colonies.
