  1. What did England give the world. In 1215, a band of rebellious medieval barons forced King John of England to agree to a laundry list of concessions later called the Great Charter, or in Latin, Magna Carta. Centuries later, America’s Founding Fathers took great inspiration from this medieval pact as they forged the nation’s founding documents—including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For 18th-century political thinkers like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Magna Carta was a potent symbol of liberty and the natural rights of man against an oppressive or unjust government. The two most-cited clauses of Magna Carta for defenders of liberty and the rule of law are 39 and 40: 39. No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. 40. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice. The Founding Fathers credited the 39th clause as the origin of the idea that no government can unjustly deprive any individual of “life, liberty or property” and that no legal action can be taken against any person without the “lawful judgement of his equals,” what would later become the right to a trial by a jury of one’s peers. The last phrase of clause 39, “by the law of the land,” set the standard for what is now known as due process of law. America has abandoned its responsibilities , Canada ignores them. These are the Laws America took from Magna Carta. Governments make Laws, not the Crown.

  3. He doesn’t have that Authority. When Charles I tried to interfere in the peoples business, he caused a Civil War, and had his head removed. Charles III should stay out of Ploitics. His mother didn’t interfere. You have a government for that. Now they need to get off their butts and work as hard as the Queen did.

  4. Global is ignorant of the powers of separation between Crown and the Government. Government makes the Laws not the Crown, Not Kings. The Last King that tried that lost his head after the English Civil War, Charles I, I hope Charles III doesn’t make the same mistake. Trudeau thinks he is Dictator of Canada, only he can change the Laws with the Senate , similar to the House of Lords in the UK System.

  5. Now, with the help of the Roman historian Tacitus, I shall tell you Queen Boudicca’s story, her-story……” In the days of Roman Britain, in the 1st century AD, there lived a warrior Queen by the name of Boudicca. Flame-haired and proud, she ruled the Iceni, in a time when Rome wanted to rule everything. The lands she governed were located in what is now East Anglia, Britains Celtic warrior Queen. In AD, she ruled the Iceni, in a time when Rome wanted to rule everything. The lands she governed were located in what is now East Anglia; It is not as a woman descended from royalty, but as one person who has lost their freedom. I avenging lost freedom, my scourged body and the hair. The Romans who dared to fight have died, the rest are hiding themselves in their camp thinking of running away. Her famous quote, “ I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees”. The Celtic/ English attitude when ever threatened by a foreign enemy, is always met with defiance. The only accounts of Boudicca and the Iceni were written by Greeks and Roman philosophers. Even later the works of Dino Cassius was a revamp of Tacitus. Even Churchill had his quotes: We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight on the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. The History of the British Isles. Queen Elizabeth II the epitome of the English spirit of dedication to one’s country. Charles the III has some big shoes to fill, maybe he is old and wise enough not to make the same mistakes as Charles I.

  6. Dictatorships of Africa. How did Africa Fail After the British Empire/Belgians/French Left Africa This is the Dictatorships that now rule Africa. Jacob Zuma South Africa. Present, running South Africa into the Ground. 1. Idi Amin Dada (Uganda: 1971-1979) 2. Colonel Muammar Gaddafi (Libya: 1969-2011) 3. General Sani Abacha (Nigeria: 1993-1998) 4. Sekou Toure (Guinea: 1958-1984) 5. Omar Al-Bashir (Sudan: 1989-Present) 6. Hissene Habre (Chad: 1982-1990) 7. Francisco Macías Nguema (Equatorial Guinea: 1968-1979) 8. Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe: 1987-Present) 9. Jose Eduardo Dos Santos (Angola: 1979-Present) 10. Paul Biya (Cameroon: 1982-Present) Ask the Africans in the UK, Canada, USA, Austrilia, NZ, and anywhere else they have fled to why they left Africa?? Democracy doesn’t exist anymore. Africa has a new Master the Chineese. The English took their Colonial responsibilities seriously, not like the above Dictators. The English didn’t just take things they added things to the countries. When the British pulled out they left behind: Langauge, Legal System, Schools, Churches, Government, Public Buildings, all still in use today. What has India produced since the British left, ask Hong Kong how life is under the Chinese? The British gave the world Magna Carta, Free Speech, and End the Slave Trade. Produced the finest literature ever written. Many Empires have gone before, you will not see one so benign. People today want to destroy history because they don’t know it, they are not taught it or lived it yet.
