特点(原则)
资产阶级代议制 由公民选举产生的代表民意的机关来行使国家权力的制 度。它是一种间接民主的形式,通常以议会作为代表民意 的机关。代议制是资产阶级取得革命胜利、夺取政权之后 正式确立起来的。 基本特征是: 1、实行普选制:由通过普选产生的议员组成议会,形式 上代表民意行使国家权力; 2、实现人权自由的原则:议会议决事项均由议员共同讨 论并经多数通过; 3、政党政治比较突出,它将竞争机制引进政治生活; 4、议会享有立法权、财政权和行政监督权。 现代国家大都实行代议制。

该法案开创了限制政府权力的先河,确立了国家的立法、司法、行政三权力分立、互相制衡的原则,使得英国开始走上资产阶级政治民主化的道路,有利于资本主义的发展。

《权利法案》对国王权力进行了严格的限制。

首先,法案规定国王不得干涉法律,这意味着国王不能再随意颁布法律或修改现有法律。

其次,法案规定在和平时期,国王不得维持常备军,这有效地防止了国王通过军队来加强自己的权力。

此外,法案还规定没有议会同意,国王不得征税,这使得财政大权也落入了议会的手中。

与此同时,《权利法案》对议会权力进行了加强。

法案规定人民有向国王请愿的权利,这为议会代表了人民的利益提供了法律依据。

法案还规定人民有配带武器以用以自卫的权利,以及人民有选举议会议员的权利,这些都为议会制度的运作提供了保障。

《权利法案》对英国政治体制产生了深远的影响。

一方面,法案使君主立宪制逐渐确立,另一方面,议会所拥有的自由和权力也被用法律的形式加以肯定,这大大削弱了国王的权力,而使议会治理国家的权力增强。

这一政治体制的变革为英国的资本主义发展奠定了坚实的基础。

《权利法案》对世界历史也做出了重要贡献。

作为欧美代议制的确立与发展的一部分,英国的君主立宪制为世界各国提供了一种新的政治体制模式。

这种模式既限制了君主的权力,又保障了人民的自由和权利,为世界各国在追求民主、自由、平等的道路上提供了重要的参考。

总之,1689 年的《权利法案》对英国乃至世界历史都产生了深远的影响。

英国资产阶级革命权利法案

英国资产阶级革命权利法案

英国资产阶级革命权利法案资产阶级革命权利法案(The Bill of Rights)是英国历史上一项重要的法律文件,被视为资产阶级革命的里程碑之一。

该法案于1689年通过,确立了英国君主立宪制度的基石,保障了公民的权利和自由,为英国政治体制的发展奠定了基础。

资产阶级革命权利法案的通过是英国历史上政治权力转移的重要标志。

在17世纪中叶,英国发生了一系列政治斗争和冲突,最终导致了资产阶级革命的爆发。

这场革命的背景是国王查理一世试图夺取更多的政治权力,对议会的限制和迫害。

这引发了国内的不满和抵抗,最终导致了1642年爆发的英国内战,以及1649年国王查理一世被处决。

在这一过程中,英国的资产阶级逐渐壮大,成为了政治斗争的主导力量。

他们希望通过制定法律来确立自己的权益,限制君主的权力,并保障公民的权利和自由。

资产阶级革命权利法案的通过,正是这一愿望的实现。

资产阶级革命权利法案明确规定了君主和议会之间的权力分配,确立了君主立宪制度。

根据该法案,君主必须遵守法律,不能随意行使权力。

同时,该法案还保障了公民的言论自由、宗教自由、财产权和公正审判等基本权利。

这些权利的确立,为英国的政治体制奠定了基础。

资产阶级革命权利法案的通过,标志着英国政治的转型,从君主专制向君主立宪制过渡。

这一转变在全球范围内产生了深远的影响。

资产阶级革命权利法案的理念和原则,被后来的法律和宪政文化所借鉴,成为了现代民主国家的基石之一。

资产阶级革命权利法案的通过,也为英国社会的发展提供了更加稳定和有序的环境。

君主立宪制度的确立,保障了公民的权利和自由,增强了社会的稳定和凝聚力。

这为英国的经济和文化繁荣奠定了基础,使得英国成为了18世纪欧洲最富裕和最强大的国家之一。

然而,资产阶级革命权利法案也存在一些局限性。

首先,该法案的适用范围相对有限,只保障了一部分公民的权利。

其次,法案中的某些权利并非绝对的,可以在特定情况下被限制。

此外,这一法案并未解决英国社会中的贫富差距和阶级矛盾,仍然存在着社会不公平和不平等的问题。

影响与评价《权利法案》的第一条,即美国宪法第一修正案对美国影响巨大。

美国媒体所享有的一切自由都源于此,在美国,凡是涉及言论、新闻、出版等诉讼,往往都会搬出此,它几乎成为美国媒体或个人言论自由的护身符,不可动摇。

以至于美国人把它颂扬为“美国生活方式”的主要内容。

1689年《权利法案》

1689年《权利法案》
1689年的《权利法案》(Bill of Rights)是英国历史上的一部重要法律文件,标志着英国君主立宪制的确立。

以下是对该法案的简要介绍:
背景:在英国历史上,长期存在君主专制统治的倾向,国王拥有较大的权力,在没有民众代表的情况下行使着极大的权威。

然而,在17世纪末,英国爆发了一系列政治冲突,包括光荣革命。

主要内容:1689年《权利法案》的主要目的是约束君主的权力,确立议会的主权,并为公民确立基本权利。

该法案有以下重要内容:
1.君主制约:该法案规定,君主不能单方面制定或废除法律、
征收税收或决定军事行动,只能在议会的允许下行使权力。

2.议会权力:该法案明确规定国会拥有立法权,对法律的制定
和修改具有最终决定权。

3.言论自由:该法案保障了议会成员的言论自由,允许议员自
由表达意见,以便能够以公正和有效的方式参与国家事务。

4.宗教自由:该法案废除了国王的宗教特权,保障了公民的信
仰自由,禁止迫害持不同宗教信仰的人。

5.武装权:该法案规定,英国公民有权持有武器,以保护个人
和家庭安全。

影响:《权利法案》的通过标志着英国从君主专制向君主
立宪制转变的重要里程碑。

它确保了议会的主权,限制了君主的权力,并为个人赋予了一系列基本权利,包括言论自由、宗教自由和个人自由。

这些原则深刻影响了近代民主国家的发展,成为后来英美法律制度和宪政思想的重要基石。

《权利法案》在当时主要适用于英格兰和苏格兰,而对爱尔兰的影响较小。

此外,该法案的内容也是历经时间演变和修订的,通过了一系列相关法律和法案来进一步完善和细化其中的内容。

BILL OF RIGHTS1689An Act Declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject and Settling the Succession of the CrownWhereas the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled at Westminster, lawfully, fully and freely representing all the estates of the people of this realm, did upon the thirteenth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty-eight [old style date] present unto their Majesties, then called and known by the names and style of William and Mary, prince and princess of Orange, being present in their proper persons, acertain declaration in writing made by the said Lords and Commons in the words following, viz.:Whereas the late King James the Second, by the assistance of divers evil counsellors, judges and ministers employed by him, did endeavour to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion and the laws and liberties of this kingdom;By assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and suspending of laws and the execution of laws without consent of Parliament;By committing and prosecuting divers worthy prelates for humbly petitioning to be excused from concurring to the said assumed power;By issuing and causing to be executed a commission under the great seal for erecting a court called the Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiastical Causes;By levying money for and to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative for other time and in other manner than the same was granted by Parliament;By raising and keeping a standing army within this kingdom in time of peace without consent of Parliament, and quartering soldiers contrary to law;By causing several good subjects being Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists were both armed and employed contrary to law;By violating the freedom of election of members to serve in Parliament;By prosecutions in the Court of Kings Bench for matters and causes cognizable only in Parliament, and by divers other arbitrary and illegal courses;And whereas of late years partial corrupt and unqualified persons have been returned and served on juries in trials, and particularly divers jurors in trials for high treason which were not freeholders;And excessive bail hath been required of persons committed in criminal cases to elude the benefit of the laws made for the liberty of the subjects;And excessive fines have been imposed;And illegal and cruel punishments inflicted;And several grants and promises made of fines and forfeitures before any conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom the same were to be levied;All which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and statutes and freedom of this realm;And whereas the said late King James the Second having abdicated the government and the throne being thereby vacant, his Highness the prince of Orange (whom it hath pleased Almighty God to make the glorious instrument of delivering this kingdom from popery and arbitrary power) did (by the advice of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and divers principal persons of the Commons) cause letters to be written to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal being Protestants,and other letters to the several counties, cities, universities,boroughs and cinque ports, for the choosing of such persons to represent them as were of right to be sent to Parliament, to meet and sit at Westminster upon the two and twentieth day of January in this year one thousand six hundred eighty and eight [old style date], in order to such an establishment as that their religion,laws and liberties might not again be in danger of being subverted,upon which letters elections having been accordingly made;And thereupon the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons,pursuant to their respective letters and elections, being now assembled in a full and free representative of this nation, taking into their most serious consideration the best means for attaining the ends aforesaid, do in the first place (as their ancestors in like case have usuallydone) for the vindicating and asserting their ancient rights and liberties declare:That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal;That the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal;That the commission for erecting the late Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiastical Causes, and all other commissions and courts of like nature, are illegal and pernicious;That levying money for or to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative, without grant of Parliament, for longer time, or in other manner than the same is or shall be granted, is illegal;That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal;That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of Parliament, is against law;That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law;That election of members of Parliament ought to be free;That the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament;That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessivefines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted;That jurors ought to be duly impanelled and returned, and jurors which pass upon men in trials for high treason ought to be freeholders;That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void;And that for redress of all grievances, and for the amending,strengthening and preserving of the laws, Parliaments ought to be held frequently.And they do claim, demand and insist upon all and singular the premises as their undoubted rights and liberties, and that no declarations, judgments, doings or proceedings to the prejudice of the people in any of the said premises ought in any wise to be drawn hereafter into consequence or example; to which demand of their rights they are particularly encouraged by the declaration of his Highness the prince ofOrange as being the only means for obtaining a full redress and remedy therein.Having therefore an entire confidence that his said Highness the prince of Orange will perfect the deliverance so far advanced by him, and will still preserve them from the violation of their rights which they have here asserted, and from all other attempts upontheir religion, rights and liberties, the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled at Westminster do resolve that William and

BILL OF RIGHTS1689An Act Declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject and Settli ng the Succession of the CrownWhereas the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled at Westminster, lawfully, fully and freely representing all the estat es of the people of this realm, did upon the thirteenth day of Febr uary in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty-eight [old style date] present unto their Majesties, then called and know n by the names and style of William and Mary, prince and princes s of Orange, being present in their proper persons, a certain declara tion in writing made by the said Lords and Commons in the words following, viz.:Whereas the late King James the Second, by the assistance of diver s evil counsellors, judges and ministers employed by him, did ende avour to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion and the laws and liberties of this kingdom;By assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and suspen ding of laws and the execution of laws without consent of Parliame nt;By committing and prosecuting divers worthy prelates for humbly p etitioning to be excused from concurring to the said assumed power;By issuing and causing to be executed a commission under the gre at seal for erecting a court called the Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiastical Causes;By levying money for and to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative for other time and in other manner than the same was granted by Parliament;By raising and keeping a standing army within this kingdom in tim e of peace without consent of Parliament, and quartering soldiers c ontrary to law;By causing several good subjects being Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists were both armed and employed cont rary to law;By violating the freedom of election of members to serve in Parlia ment;By prosecutions in the Court of King's Bench for matters and caus es cognizable only in Parliament, and by divers other arbitrary and illegal courses;And whereas of late years partial corrupt and unqualified persons h ave been returned and served on juries in trials, and particularly di vers jurors in trials for high treason which were not freeholders; And excessive bail hath been required of persons committed in cri minal cases to elude the benefit of the laws made for the liberty o f the subjects;And excessive fines have been imposed;And illegal and cruel punishments inflicted;And several grants and promises made of fines and forfeitures befo re any conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom the same were to be levied;All which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and statutes and freedom of this realm;And whereas the said late King James the Second having abdicated the government and the throne being thereby vacant, his Highness the prince of Orange (whom it hath pleased Almighty God to mak e the glorious instrument of delivering this kingdom from popery a nd arbitrary power) did (by the advice of the Lords Spiritual and T emporal and divers principal persons of the Commons) cause lettersto be written to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal being Protestant s, and other letters to the several counties, cities, universities, borou ghs and cinque ports, for the choosing of such persons to represent them as were of right to be sent to Parliament, to meet and sit at Westminster upon the two and twentieth day of January in this ye ar one thousand six hundred eighty and eight [old style date], in or der to such an establishment as that their religion, laws and libertie s might not again be in danger of being subverted, upon which lett ers elections having been accordingly made;And thereupon the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Common s,pursuant to their respective letters and elections, being now assem bled in a full and free representative of this nation, taking into thei r most serious consideration the best means for attaining the ends a foresaid, do in the first place (as their ancestors in like case have usuallydone) for the vindicating and asserting their ancient rights and liber ties declare:That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal; That the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal;That the commission for erecting the late Court of Commissioners f or Ecclesiastical Causes, and all other commissions and courts of li ke nature, are illegal and pernicious;That levying money for or to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative, without grant of Parliament, for longer time, or in oth er manner than the same is or shall be granted, is illegal;That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all co mmitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal;That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of Parliament, is against l aw;That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their def ence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law;That election of members of Parliament ought to be free;That the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliame nt ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament;That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines i mposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted;That jurors ought to be duly impanelled and returned, and jurors w hich pass upon men in trials for high treason ought to be freeholde rs;That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular p ersons before conviction are illegal and void;And that for redress of all grievances, and for the amending,strengt hening and preserving of the laws, Parliaments ought to be held fre quently.And they do claim, demand and insist upon all and singular the pr emises as their undoubted rights and liberties, and that no declarati ons, judgments, doings or proceedings to the prejudice of the peopl e in any of the said premises ought in any wise to be drawn herea fter into consequence or example; to which demand of their rights t hey are particularly encouraged by the declaration of his Highness t he prince ofOrange as being the only means for obtaining a full redress and re medy therein.Having therefore an entire confidence that his said Highness the pri nce of Orange will perfect the deliverance so far advanced by him, and will still preserve them from the violation of their rights whic h they have here asserted, and from all other attempts upon their r eligion, rights and liberties, the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal a nd Commons assembled at Westminster do resolve that William and Mary, prince and princess of Orange, be and be declared king and queen of England, France and Ireland and the dominions thereuntobelonging, to hold the crown and royal dignity of the said kingdo ms and dominions to them, the said prince and princess, during the ir lives and the life of the survivor to them, and that the sole and full exercise of the regal power be only in and executed by the sai d prince of Orange in the names of the said prince and princess d uring their joint lives, and after their deceases the said crown and r oyal dignity of the same kingdoms and dominions to be to the heir s of the body of the said princess, and for default of such issue to the Princess Anne of Denmark and the heirs of her body, and for default of such issue to the heirs of the body of the said prince o f Orange. And the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do pray the said prince and princess to accept the same accordingly. And that the oaths hereafter mentioned be taken by all persons of whom the oaths have allegiance and supremacy might be required b y law, instead of them; and that the said oaths of allegiance and supremacy be abrogated."I, A.B., do sincerely promise and swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to their Majesties King William and Queen M ary. So help me God.""I, A.B., do swear that I do from my heart abhor, detest and abjur e as impious and heretical this damnable doctrine and position, that princes excommunicated or deprived by the Pope or any authorityof the see of Rome may be deposed or murdered by their subjects or any other whatsoever. And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisd iction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. So help me God."Upon which their said Majesties did accept the crown and royal di gnity of the kingdoms of England, France and Ireland, and the dom inions thereunto belonging, according to the resolution and desire of the said Lords and Commons contained in the said declaration. And thereupon their Majesties were pleased that the said Lords Spir itual and Temporal and Commons, being the two Houses of Parlia ment, should continue to sit, and with their Majesties' royal concu rrence make effectual provision for the settlement of the religion, l aws and liberties of this kingdom, so that the same for the future might not be in danger again of being subverted, to which the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons did agree, and procee d to act accordingly.Now in pursuance of the premises the said Lords Spiritual and Te mporal and Commons in Parliament assembled, for the ratifying, co nfirming and establishing the said declaration and the articles, claus es, matters and things therein contained by the force of law made i n due form by authority of Parliament, do pray that it may be declared and enacted that all and singular the rights and liberties assert ed and claimed in the said declaration are the true, ancient and ind ubitable rights and liberties of the people of this kingdom, and so shall be esteemed, allowed, adjudged, deemed and taken to be; and that all and every the particulars aforesaid shall be firmly and stri ctly holden and observed as they are expressed in the said declarati on, and all officers and ministers whatsoever shall serve their Maje sties and their successors according to the same in all time to com e.And the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, seriously considering how it hath pleased Almighty God in his marvellous p rovidence and merciful goodness to this nation to provide and prese rve their said Majesties' royal persons most happily to reign over u s upon the throne of their ancestors, for which they render unto hi m from the bottom of their hearts their humblest thanks and praises, do truly, firmly, assuredly and in the sincerity of their hearts think, and do hereby recognize, acknowledge and declare, that King Jam es the Second having abdicated the government, and their Majesties having accepted the crown and royal dignity as aforesaid, their sai d Majesties did become, were, are and of right ought to be by the laws of this realm our sovereign liege lord and lady, king and qu een of England, France and Ireland and the dominions thereunto belonging, in and to whose princely persons the royal state, crown an d dignity of the said realms with all honours, styles, titles, regalitie s, prerogatives, powers, jurisdictions and authorities to the same bel onging and appertaining are most fully, rightfully and entirely inves ted and incorporated, united and annexed. And for preventing all qu estions and divisions in this realm by reason of any pretended titles to the crown, and for preserving a certainty in the succession ther eof, in and upon which the unity, peace, tranquility and safety of t his nation doth under God wholly consist and depend, the said Lor ds Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do beseech their Majesties that it may be enacted, established and declared, that the crown a nd regal government of the said kingdoms and dominions, with all and singular the premises thereunto belonging and appertaining, shal l be and continue to their said Majesties and the survivor of them during their lives and the life of the survivor of them, and that the entire, perfect and full exercise of the regal power and governmen t be only in and executed by his Majesty in the names of both the ir Majesties during their joint lives; and after their deceases the sai d crown and premises shall be and remain to the heirs of the body of her Majesty, and for default of such issue to her Royal Highne ss the Princess Anne of Denmark and the heirs of the body of his said Majesty; and thereunto the said Lords Spiritual and Temporaland Commons do in the name of all the people aforesaid most hu mbly and faithfully submit themselves, their heirs and posterities for ever, and do faithfully promise that they will stand to, maintain a nd defend their said Majesties, and also the limitation and successio n of the crown herein specified and contained, to the utmost of the ir powers with their lives and estates against all persons whatsoever that shall attempt anything to the contrary.And whereas it hath been found by experience that it is inconsisten t with the safety and welfare of this Protestant kingdom to be gove rned by a popish prince, or by any king or queen marrying a papis t, the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do further pray that it may be enacted, that all and every person and persons that is, are or shall be reconciled to or shall hold communion with the see or Church of Rome, or shall profess the popish religion, o r shall marry a papist, shall be excluded and be for ever incapable to inherit, possess or enjoy the crown and government of this real m and Ireland and the dominions thereunto belonging or any part o f the same, or to have, use or exercise any regal power, authority or jurisdiction within the same; and in all and every such case or cases the people of these realms shall be and are hereby absolved of their allegiance; and the said crown and government shall from t ime to time descend to and be enjoyed by such person or personsbeing Protestants as should have inherited and enjoyed the same in case the said person or persons so reconciled, holding communion or professing or marrying as aforesaid were naturally dead; and th at every king and queen of this realm who at any time hereafter s hall come to and succeed in the imperial crown of this kingdom sh all on the first day of the meeting of the first Parliament next after his or her coming to the crown, sitting in his or her throne in the House of Peers in the presence of the Lords and Commons therei n assembled, or at his or her coronation before such person or pers ons who shall administer the coronation oath to him or her at the t ime of his or her taking the said oath (which shall first happen), make, subscribe and audibly repeat the declaration mentioned in the statute made in the thirtieth year of the reign of King Charles the Second entitled, _An Act for the more effectual preserving the kin g's person and government by disabling papists from sitting in eithe r House of Parliament._ But if it shall happen that such king or qu een upon his or her succession to the crown of this realm shall be under the age of twelve years, then every such king or queen shal l make, subscribe and audibly repeat the same declaration at his or her coronation or the first day of the meeting of the first Parliame nt as aforesaid which shall first happen after such king or queen sh all have attained the said age of twelve years.All which their Majesties are contented and pleased shall be declare d, enacted and established by authority of this present Parliament, a nd shall stand, remain and be the law of this realm for ever; and t he same are by their said Majesties, by and with the advice and c onsent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in Parlia ment assembled and by the authority of the same, declared, enacted and established accordingly.II.

英语国家概况名词解释(Cindy Cheung)1.A nglo-SaxonsThey were two groups of Germanic peoples who settled down in England from the 5th century. They were regarded as the ancestors of the English and the founders of England.2.S inn Fein(Unit 2) Sinn Fein is a legal political party in Northern Ireland which supports the IRA to fight for the union of Ireland. The leaders of Sinn Fein prefer union with Ireland by a twin campaign, both military and political which they call the policy of “the Bullet and the Ballot Box”. It believes that without the participation of Sinn Fein the political problem of Northern Ireland cannot be thoroughly solved.(Unit 11) Author Griffith developed a political party in the period of 1905-08 known as Sinn Fein- meaning “we ourselves” in the Irish language. The Sinn Fein policy was that Irish MPs should withdraw from Westminster and establish an independent parliament. Traditionally, Sinn Fein had close links with the Irish Republican Brotherhood, a secret society struggling for national independence.3.H ome RuleIreland had long been dominated by Britain, but Irish desire for an independent Irish state was never lost. “Home Rule” refers to a campaign for Irish control of Irish affairs. The Home Rule Bill was finally passed in 1914, but the process was overtaken by the First World War and was suspended for the duration of the war.4.T he Bill of Rights of 1689 (英国1689 《权利法案》)In 1689, King JamesⅡ’s daughter Mary and her husband William were invited by the politicians and church authorities to take the throne, on condition that they would respect the rights of Parliament. The Bill of Rights was passed in 1689 to ensure that the King would never be able to ignore Parliament.5.T he functions of ParliamentThe functions of Parliament are: to pass laws, to vote for taxation, to scrutinize government policy, administration and expenditure and to debate the major issues of the day.6.T he House of CommonsThe House of Commons is the real center of British political life because it is the place where about 650 elected representatives (Members of Parliament) make and debate policy. These MPs are elected in the General Elections and should represent the interests of the people who vote for them.7.T he importance of general electionsGeneral elections are very important in western democracy. According to the author, the provide opportunities for people to influence future government polities and to replace those incompetent political leaders.8.P rivatization in the 1980sThe British economy went through a particularly bad period in the 1970s, with high rates of inflation and devaluation of the Pound. Therefore, in the 1980s, when the Conservative party under Margaret Thatcher was in power, an extensive programme of privatization was carried out. Many state-owned businesses (such as steel, telecom, gas, aerospace) were turned into private companies. Privatization was successful in controlling inflation but at the same time unemployment rate increased rapidly.9.C omprehensive schoolsComprehensive schools are the most popular secondary schools in Britain today. Such schools admit children without reference to their academic abilities and provide a general education. Pupils can study everything from academic subjects like literature to more practical subjects like cooking.10.The Open UniversityThe Open University was founded in Britain in the 1960’s for people who might not get the opportunity for the higher education for economic and social reasons. It’s open to everybody and does not demand the same formal educational qualifications as the other universities. University courses are followed through TV, radio, correspondence, videos and a net work of study centers. At the end of their studies at the Open University, successful students are awarded a university degree.11.EisteddfodWales has a long poetic tradition. Poems written in the traditional Welsh language and style are governed by ancient codes and conventions. This poetic tradition has been celebrated for centuries in eisteddfod, a Welsh word meaning a gathering where people recite verses and sing songs. Wales had been controlled by the English for hundreds of years and so English became the national language. Speaking Welsh was seen as a bad thing. The Welsh language began to die, but Welsh speakers fought hard to preserve it. One way they accomplished this was to celebrate their culture and their language each August with a really large Eisteddfod which would remind people throughout the UK of Wales’ special cultural heritage. The Eisteddfod is now the largest popular festival of music making and poetry writing in Europe.12.The Great FamineThe Great Famine took place from 1845-48 when successive potato crops failed and many people of Ireland starved to death, or died of the diseases which preyed on malnutrition. Many left the country for the New World. The Great Famine became a watershed in Irish history, not merely because there was mass starvation and emigration, but also because the British government appeared to be indifferent to the fate of the poorest people in its nearest colony. Naturally this period is characterized by campaigns for national independence and land reform.13.The Easter Rising of 1916It was a rebellion by Irish nationalists against British rule on 24 April 1916 (Easter Monday). The Irish V olunteers, led by Patrick Pearse and the Irish Citizen Army, led by James Connolly, staged the uprising. The British crushed the rising within a week and executed its leaders. A wave of nationalist sentiment produced an electoral victory for Sinn Fein in 1918.14.Checks and balancesThe Irish system of government is based on the American principle of “checks and balances”: that is, the power of the executive branch of government can be checked by the legislature (the two houses of parliament) and by the judiciary, through courts which interpret the law. Enforcement is also part of the role of the courts of law, and is actually carried out by the police force. Both the legal system and the police force are conceived of as independent of political influence.15.The Civil ServiceThe civil service in Ireland is divided into sixteen Government Departments, each headed by a Minister appointed by the Prime Minister. Ministers have final responsibility for these areas. The civil service is politically independent in the performance of its duties and has no involvement in party politics. In fact, party political activity is strictly forbidden for all middle and high-ranking civil servants. Recruitment to the civil service is by public competitive exams administered by the independent Civil Service Commission and is open to every citizen of the Republic. At present, there are some 30,000 people employed in the civil service. 16.The DreamingThe Dreaming is the belief system from ancient times that has bound indigenous groups together. The central principle of the Dreaming is that the people who live on the continent have special responsibilities to the land. The people don’t own the land; instead the land owns the people. The stories of the Dreaming provide principles of how people should live and interact with the with each other. They also provide knowledge of the land so that the indigenous people can survive in the life-threatening environment.17.Terra NulliusTerra Nullius is from Latin. It means a land that is owned by no one. The British declared the Australian continent Terra Nullius to justify their invasion of the indigenous people’s land. It served to legitimize their taking possession of the land and devalue the indigenous people as uncivilized and not fully human. 18.PastoralistsThe pastoralists are major landowners. They are usually the magistrates of their local area. They used the legal power as magistrates to force convict labourers to work hard. They built their wealth on the unpaid labour of the convicts. This is why they supported the transportation of convicts to Australia.19.EmancipistsThe emancipists are ex-convicts who were fully or conditionally pardoned for conduct or service. They became successful farmers, lawyers, architects and government administrators. They contributed a lot to the development of Australian society. By the 1820s, a third of the richest men in the colony were emancipists, among them were Mary Reiby and James Ruse.20.The “Washminster” form polityThe “Washminster” form of polity is adopted by the Australian government. It is a mixture of the US Washington system of the government and the British Westminster system. This means that the political structure of the government is based on a Federation of States with a three-tier system of government. However, the chief executive is a Prime Minister, instead of a President as in the US system.21.The Governor-GeneralThe Governor-General is the formal head of the executive branch of the government. He is the representative of the Queen in Australia. However, as the British monarch as no real power in Australia, the Governor-General acts only on the advice of the Executive Council, which is made up of himself and the Cabinet. 22.MulticulturalismMulticulturalism was adopted in 1973. It was comprised of 3 areas of policy: Cultural Identity, which means the right to express and share one’s cultural heritage; Social Justice, the right to equal treatment and opportunity; and Economic Efficiency, the need to maintain and develop the skills of all Australians regardless of their backgrounds.23.The White Australia PolicyThe White Australia Policy was officially adopted by the Commonwealth of Australian in 1901, in the Immigration Restriction Act. It was made to stop Chinese and other non-British migrants from entering and settling down in Australia. This was mainly achieved through a dictation test in a European language. The White Australia Policy was officially abolished in 1973.。

而在英国,议会逐渐成为最高权力机构,国王的权力受到制约。

And several grants and promises made of fines and forfeitures before any conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom the same were to be levied;
And thereupon the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons,pursuant to their respective letters and elections, being now assembled in a full and free representative of this nation, taking into their most serious consideration the best means for attaining the ends aforesaid, do in the first place (as their ancestors in like case have usually
That the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal;
done) for the vindicating and asserting their ancient rights and liberties declare:
That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal;
