What does the Reform Bills and the Parliament Acts have to do with the 19th Century?

History

Simora [160]3 years ago

Answer: The Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949 are two Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which form part of the constitution of the United Kingdom. Section 2-2 of the Parliament Act 1949 provides that the two Acts are to be construed as one.

Explanation: The Parliament Act 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5. c. 13) asserted the supremacy of the House of Commons by limiting the legislation-blocking powers of the House of Lords (the suspensory veto). Provided the provisions of the Act are met, legislation can be passed without the approval of the House of Lords.

Additionally, the 1911 Act amended the Septennial Act 1716 to reduce the maximum life of a Parliament from seven years to five years. The Parliament Act 1911 was amended by the Parliament Act 1949 (12, 13 & 14 Geo. 6. c. 103), which further limited the power of the Lords by reducing the time that they could delay bills, from two years to one.

The Parliament Acts have been used to pass legislation against the wishes of the House of Lords on seven occasions since 1911, including the passing of the Parliament Act 1949. Some constitutional lawyers had questioned the validity of the 1949 Act.

These doubts were rejected in 2005 when members of the Countryside Alliance unsuccessfully challenged the validity of the Hunting Act 2004, which had been passed under the auspices of the Act. In October 2005, the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords dismissed the Alliance's appeal against this decision, with an unusually large panel of nine Law Lords (out of then-existing twelve) holding that the 1949 Act was a valid Act of Parliament.

The 1911 Act was a reaction to the clash between the Liberal government and the House of Lords, culminating in the so-called "People's Budget" of 1909. In this Budget, the Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd George proposed the introduction of a land tax based on the ideas of the American tax reformer Henry George.

This new tax would have had a major effect on large landowners, and was opposed by the Conservative opposition, many of whom were large landowners themselves. The Conservatives believed that money should be raised through the introduction of tariffs on imports, which they claimed would help British industry.

Contrary to British constitutional convention, the Conservatives used their large majority in the Lords to vote down the Budget. The Liberals made reducing the power of the Lords an important issue of the January 1910 general election.

What type of government is preferred by each group?
garri49 [273]

Key Points

Government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the

mechanism for determining the policy of the state. States are served by a

continuous succession of different governments.

Governments with Aristarchy attributes are traditionally ruled by the “best”

people. Examples include aristocracy, technocracy and meritocracy.

Governments with autocratic attributes are ruled by one person who has all

the power over the people in a country. Examples include authoritarian,

totalitarian and fascist governments.

Governments with democratic attributes are most common in the Western

world and in some countries of the east. In democracies, all of the people in

a country can vote during elections for representatives or political parties

that they prefer.

Governments with monarchic attributes are ruled by a king or a queen who

inherits their position from their family, which is often called the royal family.

Governments with oligarchic attributes are ruled by a small group of

powerful and/or influential people. These people may spread power

equally or not equally.

Plutocracy defines a society or a system ruled and dominated by the small

minority of the wealthiest citizens. Unlike systems such as democracy,

capitalism, socialism or anarchism, plutocracy is not rooted in an

established political philosophy and has no formal advocates.

What does the quote :
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The quote means that the whites will never admit the issue of racism and discrimination that the blacks were treated with.

Explanation:

The given quote is spoken by Malcolm X, an African-American human rights activist, popular for his civil rights leadership. Amidst fighting for the rights and unity of the African-Americans, he was shot dead while giving a speech at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights.

The given quote from the historical personality is a metaphorical expression of racism and the identity of Black nationalism. But at the same time, he propagated the idea of the blacks as being their own foe, and their need to be united if they were to achieve any civil rights for themselves. By suggesting that <em>"progress is healing the wound that the blow made"</em>, he is talking about the issue of racism that the whites had propagated, that the whites are superior to the blacks. His statement that<em> "they won't even admit the knife is there"</em> suggests that the whites won't admit racism is there, let alone accept the pain and discrimination they've been treated with. The knife here represents the racism, the prejudice against the blacks.
