Public Access to Parliamentary Proceedings. 6. Conclusion. INTRODUCTION I am always interested in the history of Great Britain and especially in the developing of the British Parliament. It plays the leading role in the political life of Great Britain. It passes laws, provides the means of carrying work of the government, scrutinizes government policy and administration, including proposals for expenditure; debates the major issues of the day. In my wok I try to look at the history of this undoubtedly important body of authority. The events that took place in England in the XIII century turned out to be the main influence on the formation and the rise of Parliament that exists to the very moment. THE GREAT CHARTER - MAGNA CARTA Richard I’s absence in the Holy Land and the expense of crusade the weakened power of the Crown in England. When his brother John became a king, he lacked the money to defend the English lands in France successfully. The meanness and cruelty of his character added to his unpopularity stimulated a heavy disapproval from the point of the Church; the power then belonged to Pope Innocent III. As a result in 1215 on June 15 the army of the Holy Pope supported by barons and led...

...University of Santo Tomas Robin Hood A Case Presentation Submitted to Sir Real Carpio So In Partial Fulfillment Of The Requirements In Entre 7 Strategic Management Submitted By: Reyes, Jemima Tamayo, Janelle Taylo, Michael John Teñido, Lenard Turgano, Glerish Verosil, Richard Yabut, Katrina 19 November 2012 I. Statement of the Problem Mismanagement of the lieutenants with the recruitment and training of Merrymen members leading to the scarcity of resources, and incoherency of his goals from the band; this may result in the weakening of the band of Robin Hood that will give the Sheriff a chance to eliminate them. The revolt against the Sheriff had begun as a personal crusade. It erupted out of Robin’s conflict with the Sheriff and his administration. However, alone Robin Hood could do little. He therefore sought allies, men with grievances and deep sense of justice. Later he welcomed all who came, asking few questions and demanding only a willingness to serve. Strength, he believed, lay in numbers. Robin ruled the organization; he makes all the important decisions. He delegated specific tasks to his lieutenants. The increasing number of the band was a source of satisfaction for Robin, but also a source of concern. The fame of his merry men is spreading, and new recruits were pouring from all the corners of England. As the band grew in number the resources they have is not sufficient for all of them like food and shelter. The Sheriff was...

...Robin Hood Case Study Miguel Aristizabal Busines Strategy 9/13/2011 Professor Patton 1. Basic Organization Chart of Robin Hood’s Merrymen 2. Robin Hood’s Problems Robin and his Merrymen had a myriad of problems, some that were of more importance than others. One of his main problems was dealing with the Sheriff who he had revolted against due to a conflict with the Sheriff and his administration. The Sheriff was beginning to gain momentum against Robin and his men due to his growing strength, better organization and close ties to Prince John. Robin also faced the problems that came with a growing band such as the lack of food for everyone, the high cost of feeding everyone, and the decreasing discipline among the men. Furthermore, Robin was also confronted with the vicious and volatile Prince John who would seek rancorous revenge if he were to find out that Robin was part of the conspiracy to remove him from power. 3. Robin Hood and the Merrymen’s Future Mission and Plan I believe that continuing their present course of action will only result in financial failure and therefore the end of the Merrymen. This is because, just like any company today, innovation and change is necessary for survival in a strongly dynamic environment. Robin’s operating environment was changing drastically, as people began avoiding the forest so that they could avoid having their goods confiscated by Robin and his men. For this reason it is imperative that Robin and the...

...but the British Empire’s sense of superiority was the most important reason. Also important was the failure of the British Parliament to address the needs and growing discontent of Americans weary of “taxation without representation.” Colonists also began to oppose rule from Britain because of ideas developing in new intellectual schools of thought like the Enlightenment. King George III’s arrogance was well founded in the 1760s, but it led to poor decision making. Early in his reign, the British had resoundingly defeated France in the Seven Years’ War to become the dominant power both in North America and on the Asian subcontinent. This dominance clearly created a false sense of security and as the British Empire continued to grow, its central authority, or ability to control its ever-expanding colonies, weakened significantly. Great Britain’s failure to recognize its weaknesses and its foolish decision to respond to every colonial expression of discontent with a tightening of the noose effectively sealed it into an everescalatingspiral of conflict. The conflict could have been avoided and King George III could have secured the colonies’ loyalty to the empire for generations if he would have simply signed off on a relatively modest series of reforms. The British Parliament failed to address the needs and growing discontent of Americans weary of “taxation without representation.” Great Britain’s indifference to colonial life, its failure to recognize the fact that...

...The American, French, and the Haitian revolutions, which ranged from 1750 to 1914, can all be traced back to the same origins, the enlightenment thinkers. The ideas of natural rights, a social contract between the government and the people, separation of powers, checks and balances, and maybe the most important idea of them all, revolution all came from thinkers such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire, Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean Jacque. But, although they might’ve had the same beginning that doesn’t mean their course of action was the same. The French Revolution, 1789-1815, the American Revolution, 1776-1783, and the Haitian Revolution, 1810-1825, might have all had the inspiration from the enlightenment thinkers, but their tack ticks...

...their palace built by Louis XIV in Versailles, the palace was so beautiful that other countries built their own palaces with the same idea and design. During The Old Regime, the palace symbolized the wealth and the value of the absolute monarchy. The absolute monarchy composed of king and queens who inherited their own position and would eventually pass down their title to their eldest son or daughter. The kings and queens believed in Divine Rights, which is God’s agents on earth to serve the people. The Old Regime was introduced by the revolutionaries of 1789, it was based on a social hierarchy in which was determined by birth, not by your hard works or talents. The top of the human chain was the king, which was God’s divine representative. Louis XIV’s great great-grandfather once said L’etat c’est moi, which means I am the state. Underneath the king, the French society was organized into three estates with different social responsibilities. The First Estate which was the clergy, the clergy was less than one percent of the population and was not required to pay taxes. The First Estate enjoyed their high status and proximity to God. The Second Estate was the nobles who provided military support for the king. Nobles had two different groups. The wealthiest and powerful nobles were known as the Les Grands, owned large landholdings...

...from every citizen of the United States when it is referred to Freedom, and Justice. Ironically when people refer to this and therefore the whole constitution they are directly referring to one of the greatest minds in history: Charles Louis de Secondat Baron de Montesquieu. He is not only one of the real founders of the American Constitution, but he is the start on revolutionary ideas in means on anthropology, politics and economical revolutions; he is the founder of society comfort, he is the inspiration for the French Revolution with his ideas of Justice, Freedom and Equality. Still his name has almost disappeared in the modern world. Charles Louis de Secondat was born on January 18, 1689, at the castle of La Brède near Bordeaux in France. His father Jacques de Secondat was a soldier with a long noble ancestry, and his mother, Marie Françoise de Pesnel, was an heiress who eventually brought the barony of La Brède to the Secondat family, unfortunately she died when Charles was still a kid. In 1705 he returned to Bordeaux to study laws, and in 1708 he moved to Paris where he developed a real disgust to the city. In 1715 he married Jeanne de Lartigue, a Protestant, who brought him a large dowry. In 1716 he inherited his Uncle Baron de Montesquieu office of Président à Mortier in the Parlement of Bordeaux,...

...1st Internal Assignment Administrative Law The Doctrine of Separation of Power Clive D’souza 13010124119 Division B III Year Introduction: The Government of any country will be the agency or machinery through which the will of the people is realised, expressed and formulated. But for the will of the people to be so expressed, realised and formulated, there needs to be a well organized system which works together, jointly as well as separately for ultimate achievement of the goal, which in a democracy would be to help people realise their will, express that will and help the people to formulate the ideas as to what is right for society and be part of what would then become ideally, a true and well functioning democracy. The concept as stated above can be compared with the functioning of any team, be it a multi-national corporation or of a football team, where the former needs people to work on ideas for new products, need an accounts department to check on the cash flows and revenues, a marketing team to market the product well enough to the people through advertisements or for the latter where the defenders ensure that goals do not go in against their team, the midfield ensures possession of the ball and creativity to pass the ball to the strikers of the team and the strikers of the team ensure that the passes delivered to them is by the midfield, to score the ultimate goal that the team seeks. What we see through this example is that, all of the functions, although...

...Ravneet Kaur Development of Human Rights: From Past to Present The word human right is derived from Latin word “Homo” meaning man and homonus mean belonging to man. Human rights are right to which every person is entitled by virtue of being human living in society of other human. According to Thomas Paine, In rights of man is 1721 about French revolution that the representation of people of France feels that ignorance of human right are the main curse of public misfortune. Cicero the statesman the orator of ancient Rome, produced the work that the reflected the principle of Roman public and rights rights of citizen. Human rights are mainly social, economic and political rights. The doctrine of human rights has been highly influential within international law, global and regional institutions. Actions by states and non-governmental organizations form a basis of public policy worldwide. The idea of human right suggests that "if the public discourse of peacetime global society can be said to have a common moral language, it is that of human rights. (Kaur) The strong claims made by the doctrine of human rights continue to provoke considerable skepticism and debates about the content, nature and justifications of human rights to this day....

...early as 1219,[1] and reissued later in the 13th century in changed versions. The later versions excluded the most direct challenges to the monarch's authority that had been present in the 1215 charter. The charter first passed into law in 1225; the 1297 version, with the long title (originally in Latin) "The Great Charter of the Liberties of England, and of the Liberties of the Forest," still remains on the statute books of England and Wales. The 1215 charter required King John of England to proclaim certain liberties, and accept that his will was not arbitrary, for example by explicitly accepting that no "freeman" (in the sense of non-serf) could be punished except through the law of the land, a right which is still in existence today. Magna Carta was the principal document forced onto an English King by a group of his matters, the feudal barons, in an effort to limit his powers by law and protect their privileges. It was followed and directly influenced by the Charter of Liberties in 1100, in which King Henry I had specified particular areas wherein his powers have a limit. The influence of Magna Carta can be clearly seen in the United States Bill of Rights, which enumerates various rights of the people and restrictions on government power, such as: No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Article 21 from the Declaration of Rights in the Maryland Constitution of...
