Which, if any, of Russell’s Resolutions would be most likely to anger supporters of the Ninety-Two Resolutions?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The Ninety-Two Resolutions were drafted by Louis-Joseph Papineau and other members of the Parti patriote of Lower Canada in 1834. The resolutions were a long series of demands for political reforms in the British-governed colony.

Papineau had been elected speaker of the legislative assembly of Lower Canada in 1815. His party constantly opposed the unelected colonial government, and in 1828 he helped draft an early form of the resolutions, essentially a list of grievances against the colonial administration. To ensure that the views of the Legislative Assembly be understood by the British House of Commons, the Parti patriote had sent its own delegation to London in order to submit a memoir and a petition signed by 87,000 people.

On February 28, 1834, Papineau presented the Ninety-Two Resolutions to the Legislative Assembly which were approved and sent to London.[1] The resolutions included, among other things, demands for an elected Legislative Council and an Executive Council responsible before the house of representatives. Under the Constitutional Act of 1791, the government of Lower Canada was given an elected legislative assembly, but members of the upper houses were appointed by the Governor of the colony.

In the resolutions, the elected representatives once again reiterated their loyalty to the British Crown, but expressed frustration that the government of London had been unwilling to correct the injustices caused by the past governments of the colony.

Papineau's resolutions were ignored for almost three years; meanwhile, the Legislative Assembly did all it could to oppose the un-elected upper houses while avoiding outright rebellion. British Colonial Secretary Lord Russell eventually responded to them by issuing ten resolutions of his own (the Russell Resolutions). All of the Legislative Assembly's demands were rejected.

Following the death of Queen Anne in 1714, George I was crowned as king of Britain. Which of the following statements describes
TEA [102]

Answer: He had little domestic interest in Britain and allowed Parliament to consolidate the gains of the Glorious Revolution.

Explanation:

George I was the ruler of a Duchy in Germany before he became King of England and upon his succession, he was not very interested in the affairs of Britain and was frequently going back to Germany. It was even said that he did not speak a lot of English.

These factors and more allowed Parliament and the Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, to claw power from the Monarchy such that after George I died, the Prime Ministerial position got stronger with every succeeding monarch.
