The Symbolic End Of Gladstone's Theocratic Toryism
The defining moment in which many historians have gone onto argue as the symbolic end to Gladstone’s theocratic Toryism was Peel’s proposal to increase state funding for Maynooth Catholic College in Ireland. Conservatives were outraged by Peels proposal to support a Catholic seminary. They saw this as unnecessary for Britain, a Protestant state, to finance a Catholic seminary. Gladstone was ‘appalled’ by the idea says Helmstadter, as he recognised the challenge this proposed upon his standing views in connection to his own principles within the Church and State. (Helmstadster, Conscience and Politics pp.33-4) Gladstone, as pointed out by Matthew, viewed Maynooth as a battle cry for national religion. (Matthew, 65) The Maynooth Crisis compelled

    Democracy in Colonial Wethersfield, Connecticut During the 1700s

    Religion was a major predicament in the late-1700s. A Separatist minister was sent to jail in 1745 because he was preaching in Wethersfield without permission. This is saying that Separatism is inferior to that of other religions. And the town's requirement of its people to support Protestant ministers in 1775 only pushes the idea that Protestants are superior to others. Because freedom of religion was granted to only those who attended a church of their choice, atheists were a bit out of luck. And all the while, ministers were granted tax breaks. Although the tolerance level for religious diversities grew by 1780, there was still much to be done in ways of democracy.…

    The Importance of the Second Reform Act 1867

    This question focuses on the importance of the Second Reform Act in Disraeli’s rise to the top of the Conservative Party and his emergence as the leader. In order to decide on the relative importance of the Send Reform Act, I will also consider other factors, which impacted on Disraeli’s emergence, including the 1846 split of the Conservative party and the death of George Bentinck, Derby’s ineffective leadership, Palmerston’s death in 1865 and Disraeli’s determination and political skill.…

    Neil J Young We Gather Together Sparknotes

    Neil J. Young’s We Gather Together: The Religious Right and the Problem of Interfaith Politics is a religious history that seeks to explain American political developments from the years following the second world war through the present day. Young argues that the powerful emergence of the Religious Right at the end of the 1970s was not a political strategy of compromise and coalition building founded ad-hoc on the eve of the election of 1980. Rather, as he demonstrates through meticulous research, it was the “latest iteration of a religious debate that had gone on for decades, sparked by both the ecumenical contentions of mainline Protestantism and by secular liberal political victories” (p. 5). As Young writes, his book examines “the religious…

    Seven Year's War: The Great Awakening

    Before the Seven Year’s War broke out, between the early 1740s and 1750s, a widespread Christianity revival movement in the colonies known as the “Great Awakening” introduced to the Americans the right to freely choose their own religious association and also stimulated a social reform. It had altered the mindsight of the Americans by giving them the freedom to choose what to believe and what religious practices to follow. It was the very first step they had to making their own choices, united together in their shared beliefs and not conform to the British monarchy. In many ways it readied the colonists to stand up against the British and start a revolution.…

    Churchill's Transformational Strategy

    In his book Human Rights and Global Diversity, Robert Paul Churchill aims to identify and emphasize the universality of human rights, arguing that “human beings everywhere have the same human right” (Churchill xi). Churchill proposes that cross-cultural negotiations must be implemented to bridge the gap between cultural differences and gain international consensus of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). With respect to valuing the UDHR and promoting universal human rights regardless of culture, the best method of cross-cultural negotiation is the transformational strategy. This method would be the most successful because its broad use of human rights language allows for worldwide communication and participation, thus eliminating…

    Fox's Necessary Response To The Demise Of The Whigs

    It is misleading to use the term ‘Tory’ in this context for not a single politician in this period accepted the label, the revival of the term in the 1790s being driven primarily by the Foxite use of it as a form of abuse. The features that define Toryism, support for the royal prerogative and Anglican Church, were not prevalent in the Pitt-Portland coalition of 1794. The sentiment that aligned Portland with Pitt can be said to be of a Tory nature only in its concern for the defence of property and maintenance of order. Pitt, though often seen as inseparable from Toryism, never ceased to refer to himself as an ‘Independent Whig’ and those who joined him from the opposition did not see themselves as abandoning their Whig principles. The coalition was Tory only in juxtaposition to the Foxites who were eager to emphasise their position as ‘true’ Whigs and Portland’s abandonment of Fox should be understood only as a consequence of his belief that he, not Fox – he who had ‘prostituted and counterfeited’ the term Whig to the extent that it merited a re-affirmation of its essentials - was a more faithful guardian of the Whig…

    Mayflower Belief

    “In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government, ought to be instructed. No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.” Webster has had one of the largest impacts on the english language, but not many people knew of his love for politics and his hope for our countries future, gearing towards a Christian principles. Charles Hodge, a descendant of Benjamin Franklin proposed a new point of view to this topic. “If a man goes to China, he expects to find the government there administered according to the religion of the country. If he goes to to Turkey, he expects to find the Koran supreme and regulating all public action. If he goes to a Protestant county, he has no right to complain, should he find the Bible in the ascendancy and exerting its benign influence not only on the people, but also on the government.” For hundreds of years we have had the traditions of Christian principles in America, we pledge allegiance “Under God” on a daily basis. Our presidents lay their right hand upon the Bible and recite an oath into office every four years. Money that we spend so frivolously bears the trade mark “In God We Trust.” We sing anthems and hymnals “God Bless America” and “The Star Spangled Banner” before…

    Primitive Methodism Essay

    The Church’s commitment to class collaboration and gradual parliamentary reform is evident in Connexional publications’ references to its MPs. To the Leader, the ideal Primitive Methodist MP was, perhaps, Charles Fenwick, whom it described in 1906 as ‘an advanced yet sane reformer’. It is noticeable that the subjects of the most detailed articles relating to the MPs elected in that year were Wilson and Fenwick: local preachers, Liberals, trade unionists, and…
