How has Britain come into existence explain |
|
Answer» \tThe transformation of Great Britain into a nation state was not a sudden process. There was no one British nation before the eighteenth century.\tPeople residing in the British Isles were mainly English, Welsh, Scots and Irish. These ethnic groups had distinct political and social traditions.\tAs the English nation grew in wealth and power, it began to dominate the other islands.\tIn 1688, the English Parliament seized power from the monarchy. The Parliament passed the Act of Union, 1707, by which England and Scotland were unified resulting in the formation of the ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain’.\tThe Parliament was dominated by the English, and the political and cultural identities of the Scots were systematically suppressed. The Catholics in Scotland were brutally suppressed whenever they wanted to regain their independence.\tIreland was inhabited by the Protestants and the Catholics. The English supported the Protestants and established their rule with their help and support. Catholics, who constituted a majority in Ireland, revolted against the British on numerous occasions but were suppressed.\tIreland forcibly became a part of Britain in 1801. The English language dominated, and both Scotland and Ireland were subordinate to England.This is a strange case because the formation of nation states in Great Britain was not a result of a sudden upheaval or revolution. It was rather a result of long-drawn-out process.\xa0 You want the unification of Britain ? |

Which from of government is better democratic or non democratic explain? |
|
Answer» Democracy Democracy is undoubtedly better\xa0than other forms\xa0of government. We can\xa0give the following arguments in its favour:(i)\xa0Democracy improves\xa0the quality of decision making. Democracy is based on consultation and discussion. A democratic decision\xa0always involves many persons, discussions and meetings. When a number of\xa0people put their\xa0head together, they are able to point out possible mistakes in any decision. This takes time but there is a big advantage\xa0in taking time over important\xa0decisions. This reduces\xa0the chances of rash or irresponsible decisions.(ii) Democracy provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts. In any society people are bound to have differences of opinions and interests. These differences are particularly sharp in a country like ours\xa0which has an amazing social diversity.\xa0People belong to different\xa0regions, speak different\xa0languages, practice different religions and have different\xa0castes. They look at the world differently and have different preferences. The preference of one group can clash\xa0with those of other groups.\xa0This conflict can be solved peacefully in a democratic set-up. In democracy no one is a permanent winner,\xa0no one is a permanent\xa0loser. Different groups can live with one another peacefully.(iii) Democracy enhances the dignity of citizens. Democracy is based on the principle of\xa0political equality,\xa0on recognising that the poorest\xa0and\xa0the least\xa0educated has the same status\xa0as the rich and the educated.\xa0People are not subjects\xa0of a ruler, they are the rulers\xa0themselves.(iv) Democracy allows us to correct its own mistakes. Another advantage in a democracy is that if mistake are made, they cannot be hidden\xa0for long. There is a space for public\xa0discussion on these mistakes. And\xa0there is a room for correction. Either the rulers have to change their\xa0decisions,\xa0or the rules can be changed This cannot happen\xa0in a non-democratic government.(v) Democracy is more accountable form of government. Democracy responds to the needs of the people. A non-democratic government may and can respond to the people\'s needs, but it all depends\xa0on the wishes of the people\xa0who rule. A democracy requires\xa0that the rulers\xa0have to attend to the needs of the people. |

What do you mean by revolution of liberals in 1848 |
| Answer» \xa0The 1848 revolution of the liberals refers to the various national movements pioneered by educated middle classes alongside the revolts of the poor, unemployed and starving peasants and workers in Europe. While in countries like France, food shortages and widespread unemployment during 1848 led to popular uprisings, in other parts of Europe (such as Germany, Italy, Poland, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire), men and women of the liberal middle classes came together to voice their demands for the creation of nation-states based on parliamentary principles.
