King George III's Oppressive Power

King George III ruled as King for 59 years and served his duties as King well. He wanted to stop serious battles like the French and Indian War or the Battle Of Lexington and Concord by making a proclamation or a petition. During the French and Indian war he made a big impact by making a Proclamation of 1763 saying that all lands west of the appalachian mountains would belong to the Indians so that everybody had equal amounts of land. In one’s opinion the French got more land by getting Quebec and most parts of Canada. He also signed the Declaration of Independence before the war started. Being King of Britain at the time, he thought it would be a great idea to check and change some petitions before they went through. He thought this was fair because it was his country and he and his fellow board members should make the decisions. Even though the stamp act was repealed, the parliament, the prime minister, and King George III stilled passed the declaratory act of 1776. Some of King George III”s impact were so big like the Treaty of Paris that Britain said that sealed America’s

The King in his right mind has total control and power of the colonies and can do whatever he deems necessary to control them. With that said, The king of that time, not thinking about the peoples feelings went ahead and instead of making the people happy did whatever he could to make the government better. Which in the long run was to make money. Well every time the king mad a law to make up for another law that the people didn’t like, it

Most colonies had a powerful royal governor appointed by the King of England. These royal governors often held massive power, being able to do things that even the king could not do, such as vetoing legislation and dismissing judges. They also served as the military commander for their province. In most colonies, adult, white, and land-owning males were permitted to vote in elections. The New England colonies’ governments were dominated by religion. They followed a unique form of church government known as congregationalism, where the people, known as the saints, pledged to follow God’s law. In the Middle colonies, a document called Duke’s Laws guaranteed religious toleration and created local governments. The colonies had Councils and Assemblies that gathered to initiate legislation. In the Southern colonies, one of the first representative-style governments was created. The House of Burgesses was created in 1619 in Virginia by Sir Edwin Sandys, and was created mostly to make the colony more attractive to wealthy

A1: Though the three English colonial regions—the Chesapeake area, New England, and Pennsylvania—were all relatively close to each other, there were stark differences between them. To begin with, they all had very different government structures. In the Chesapeake area, the government closely resembled that of England where power resided in one individual. In England there was a king while in Maryland, there was a royal governor. In both cases, the ruling individual had control over all branches of the government; however, the successor of the first governor in Maryland soon realized that colonists would not enjoy fewer liberties in the colonies than at home. Hence, Cecilius Calvert gave up their rights to initiate all colonial laws and shifted power to the people by governing by their advice and with consent. On the other hand, in New England, government was theocratic in nature where church and state were synonymous and where power resided in the leaders of the church. In addition, the Pennsylvanians had a much more democratic government structure where there was a proprietor and a legislative assembly that gave the people the right to appoint government officials—one of many rights that

Was King George lll a tyrant? Who was King George lll? What is a tyrant? King George lll was the ruler of the England and used to own the 13 colonies. A tyrant is one or more person who gets too much power and acts as a cruel ruler. The colonists described him as a tyrant because he had too much power over the colonies. Now, our constitution guards against tyranny by federalism, separation of powers, checks and balances, and sharing power between small and large states.

People gain power through acts of honor, effective leaders take action and help others on the other hand some lie to attain power and use it to benefit themselves and their cores. King Henry the fourth written by Shakespeare revolutionized the way in which play are written and presented through iambic pentameter allowing the play to consistently have ten syllables per line allowing the play to run smoother. A few good men directed by Rob Reiner in 1992 presents a story of injustice as Marines are wrongly accused of murder through lies and politics. Through each character we see how politics affect some aspect of their lives, through various false accusations truths begin to emerge causing great disruption to the hierarchy.

After winning the Revolutionary War, the states faced the strenuous task of creating a national government that balanced federal powers with individual and state rights. The first endeavor resulted in the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation gave too much power to the states and not enough power to the federal government. The imbalance of power resulted in a weak national government. The Constitution replaced the feeble Articles with a powerful federal government that incorporated republican ideals. Under this new system of government George Washington and Thomas Jefferson established new procedures, laws, and policies that set the standards and structured the new government. The laws, policies, and actions of both George

George Washington set up three departments in the executive branch. He chose Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, Edmund Randolph to run these branches. This was called the cabinet. The supreme court was the final authority. Congress passed 12 amendments, but the state's only ratified 10 of them. These are now called the Bill of rights. The states had fought for the nation's independence. Our government borrowed

There has been many type of monarchies all throughout Europe's history that each had their own ideas of a good social structure. Usually, the lowest class is treated poorly by the higher classes. The monarchs would make certain actions to fulfill his needs or those of the higher classes even if it causes the lower classes to suffer. Political rule during the 18th century denied the people of some if not most of their natural human rights. This would lead to enlightened thinkers challenging the traditional rule of monarchy.

The colonists were ungrateful and a disgrace to England for going on there own and declaring independence from Britain. However, the king has total control of the colonists no matter what because the colonists have English ancestors that were one of the first settlers to come to the new world and the king gave them the permission. According to King George the Third “A traitor is someone who does not agree with me” meaning that he doesn’t like what the colonists did to him and that he feels betrayed. The King was really powerful and was in control of England, one of the most powerful countries in the world at the time.

Hobbes, you are adamant in the claim that an absolute monarchy is the best type of government. However, it is clear that too much power in the hands of one individual will lead to corruption. You believe that people are prone to corruption and wrong deeds. With power solely rested on the divine rulers shoulders, should he fail, the nation will crumble. This kind of government could be toppled very easily, and a lack of a stable system set up in place should the monarch die would mean chaos would run rampant throughout the nation.

P. 8 - Colonial governors helpless to take action without the assistance of the representative assemblies. The assemblies held the power of the purse and generally got their way.

From 1607 to 1754, people’s views on governing themselves changed greatly. It began in 1607, with the settlement of Jamestown. They were a corporate colony, working for the Virginia Company, they were whole-heartedly British. The Great Awakening, the Enlightenment, and the Tradition of Neglect all introduced new ways for the American colonies to think of themselves as more independent. Although they still considered themselves part of the British Empire, by the end of this era they had discovered that they could make their own laws and constitutions that fit the way that their world worked as opposed to Great Britain.

My favorite monarch in the readings would most likely be George V. I think he balanced tradition while making beneficial change to the institution he represented. He treated his office with respect and dignity, maintaining some traditions he didn’t personally enjoy out of a sense of duty. I think (even if it was only small actions) treating the monarchy as a job with duties, rather than an elevated status with privileges was a good thing to do. He also nationalized the monarchy which I think was also a wise decision. Rather than maintaining ties to a dying class of European monarchs, given absolute power by God, he made the monarchy something English, tied in marriage, language, and

To make a federal government, it included delegates. They hired the people that decided to overthrow the monarchy. One problem was that those people did not want to serve a long term to be a delegate. They each agreed to a one year term. The
