The constitution does not require the speaker to be an elected member.
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan came into office with little experience in foreign relations but with a determination to base their policy on moral principles rather than the selfish materialism that they believed had animated their predecessors' programs. Convinced that democracy was gaining strength throughout the world, they were eager to encourage the process. In 1916, the Democratic-controlled Congress promised the residents of the Philippine Islands independence; the next year, Puerto Rico achieved territorial status, and its residents became U.S. citizens. Working closely with Secretary of State Bryan, Wilson signed twenty-two bilateral treaties which agreed to cooling-off periods and outside fact-finding commissions as alternatives to war.
In a statement issued soon after taking office, Wilson declared that the United States hoped “to cultivate the friendship and deserve the confidence” of the Latin American states, but he also emphasized that he believed “just government” must rest “upon the consent of the governed.” Latin American states were hopeful for the prospect of being free to conduct their own affairs without American interference, but Wilson's insistence that their governments be democratic undermined the promise of self-determination. In 1915, Wilson responded to chronic revolution in Haiti by sending in American marines to restore order, and he did the same in the Dominican Republic in 1916. The military occupations that followed failed to create the democratic states that were their stated objective. In 1916, Wilson practiced an old-fashioned form of imperialism by buying the Virgin Islands from their colonial master, Denmark, for $25 million.
Answer:
Glorious Revolution
To gain a Protestant ruler
The Glorious Revolution was a revolt against the English King, King James II, in the years 1688 and 1689. King James II was a Catholic and this worried most of his Government and people especially when he started granting Catholics greater statuses. They therefore sought to remove him and after they did explicitly forbade the Monarchy from ever being Catholic.
To support a constitutional monarchy
The public mood during the time was that of a monarchy with some checks on its power from Parliament. King James did not seem to want this and dissolved Parliament in 1687 in order to instill a more subservient Parliament.
To protect Parliament's power.
Another reason for the revolt was a desire to protect the powers of Parliament which King James sought to remove. After the revolt ended, Parliament gained more power than it ever had under the reign of William of Orange and Mary (King James's daughter).
American Revolution
To win independence from Britain
The American Revolution occurred in the years 1775 to 1783 and was primarily done by the Colonies in what is now the USA to free themselves from the rule of Britain. This was done as a result of what was seen as unfair Taxation, Economical and other policies imposed on the Colonies by the British.
To create a Republican Government
Another aim of the Revolution was to have a democratic Government that was elected by the people to serve the people not a Monarch in a country thousands of miles away.
