The UK remains a monarchy to this day, yet the role of the King (or Queen) is mostly ceremonial. Today, all power is in the hands of parliament, yet it wasn't always so. In today's SideQuest, we'll explore the century-long power struggle between the King and parliament.

Here’s what I’m trying to understand. Americans seem to always frame the American Revolution as a fight against a tyrannical king in King George III. But wasn’t England basically 100% a democracy (for men at least) since the 1689 Bill of Rights?
@mharley3791 Жыл бұрын
@@CharlieZColt this question has multiple layers to it. The top layer ( the stuff taught in US history classes) is that the bill of rights of 1689 only extended to the vote to people who owned land, and did not extend to Britain’s colonies. So the king and parliament were able to raise taxes on the colonist with out their representation (which is why “no taxation without representation” os a famous slogan in the US) A deeper layer is that there were a ton of other ideological differences between the colonies and the UK. The colonies wanted to expand west, despite treaties with Native Americans and the UK forbade it. The UK was also in the process of ending the slave trade/abolishing slavery in the UK, something that angered the southerners
@sovietunion7643 Жыл бұрын
@@CharlieZColt ehh, it was only a democracy for those who had land, or very highly educated, and a few other exceptions. otherwise not really. like just over 2% of the white male population in britian could vote in 1770s, which considering how much of the population was under-literate and lacked understanding of noble politics its unlikely they would be able to make a educated response anyway america was very unique in having such a high literacy rate plus being so spread out with a lot of land to spread out with that democracy worked relatively well, especially with the method in america, where states today are still semi-autonomous even after several waves of centralization over the years
@pieceofschmidtgamer Жыл бұрын
@@mharley3791 *The colonies wanted to expand west, despite treaties with Native Americans and the UK forbade it.* In reality, the only reason why Britain forbade it was because it helped to lower the cost of defending the colonies by minimizing the number of forts needed to cover the Trans-Mississippian West. Basically the British couldn't stop the colonists from moving west (and they knew it), but if they did move West past the line they would be outside Royal Protection. Essentially, the British didn't give a damn about the Natives any more than the colonists did. Basically, during this period the British operated in regards to the Thirteen Colonies with three motivations: Cut Costs, Raise Revenue, and Punish any Intransigence from the Colonists.

IRA bombed the British into their place after famine, cultural genocide, and serfdom were imposed on Ireland. Though with Brexit, Cromwell's legacy may be undone if both sides decide to reunify in the coming decades due to the added stress of Brexit on trade in Northern Ireland. Ironic, since Brexit was an attempt to create the "UK we all know and love" even though it was more powerful under the EU.

The Second Barons war was actually caused by the taxes imposed by Henry III to raise funds for the Pope’s war against Sicily - which would give the title to his son, Edmund - as well as the favouritism he gave to the Lusingans and the Savoyards (the Lusingans were even above the law at one point). It was actually Simon de Montfort and later Edward I who instituted the House of Lords.

I think the irony of changing the Line of Succession from semi-salic (women can succeed, but only if they have no brothers), to absolute primogeniture (eldest child of the monarch can succeed no matter their gender)in Britain, while I am of course, totally in favour of it, is that literally everybody in the direct line of succession is male. So, no matter what happens (barring the highly unlikely event Britain becomes a republic in the future, or an unlikely series of deaths), we'll end up with Kings reigning over Britain for pretty much the next 150 years. This is equally true for Denmark and Luxembourg, who have both changed the law of succession to be gender-neutral, yet all those in the direct line of succession are all male.

Animated movements of some long standing figures in the frame is somewhat torn... But damn, adaptation of a spongebob meme is priceless I generally thought that obsession with land (in contrast to the obsession with a murdering and pillaging strongman AKA the king) formed somewhere in Germany or Italy (since the realms were long disunited). But your description of the king's court cleared up what took Historia Civillis two protracted videos to cover. No wonder nationalistic historians call England one of the first nations around (plus the Dutch and the Cossacks) since they first started paying attention to land more than to the king.

Unfortunately, Ol' Hitch was mistaken in respect to this: the title 'Defender of the Faith' (Latin: 'Fidei Defensor') has absolutely nothing to do with the monarch being head of the Church of England: it was originally granted (somewhat ironically, by the Pope) to Henry VIII for his defence, in his book, of the Roman Catholic Church against Martin Luther and the then-nascent Lutheranism. The title was then *re-granted* to the monarch by subsequent Act of Parliament. It was the later Act of Supremacy that established the monarch being head of the church. So the title is, just like the crown itself, the gift of parliament, who can rescind it by simple Act of Parliament (as they can the crown).
