History

Basile [38]3 years ago

During the Middle Ages and the Ancien Régime, the form of political organization in Europe was the hereditary monarchy, sustained by the feudal mode of production. Inside these monarchies, political power were scattered through several political centers, with their own laws and relative administrative autonomy. Society was hierarchically organized, with almost none social mobility. This kind of political organization was radically changed by the Enlightenment idea of “social contract”, which stated that political power were transferred from the people to the monarch, who, since then, ruled definitively as the unique source of rights and obligations, therefore, centralizing the political and legislative power in the king himself. Although, the king should guarantee a certain level of individual freedom, being the social contract limited by this goal.

The Royal Christmas Message is a big part of Christmas for many Brits. How many monarchs have broadcast it to date?
Neporo4naja [7]
Three. 

The tradition began with the current Queen's grandfather, King George V, in 1932. 

When he died, his eldest son, King Edward VIII, did not deliver a Christmas message due to his abdication of the throne. 

Edward's younger brother, King George VI, resumed the practice (albeit sporadically at first). 

After George's death, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, who is the current Queen of England, continued the tradition set by her father. 

So in total, that gives us three monarchs who have delivered a Royal Christmas Message:
1) George V
2) George VI
3) Elizabeth II
