something that liberated them from the oppression of the crown and gave them the power to govern as they saw fit, for Native Americans it meant their way of life was threatened and for the common man it meant he or she was no longer English.

and power they possessed. The 2nd area of tension, Finance, they were anti-court and the extravagance of it that was present during the reigns of James I and Charles II, who would have the last scandalous court, and wanted to limit spending by the crown. The 3rd area of tension, Religion, they took a strong stance against Catholics and wanted the emancipation of dissenters, Quakers. Puritans, and other religions who wanted the death of Charles I. The 4th area of tension, Foreign Policy, was…

The Mabo vs State of Queensland was one of the most influential and historical decisions ever in the history of land laws in Australia. In this Landmark decision by the Australian High Court the rights of the native people were recognized for the first time. It effectively overturned the doctrine of “terra nullis” infavor of the common law doctrine of Aboriginal title, and overruled Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd (1971), anopposing decision of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory.

Remand custody, or pre-trial detention cases have been vastly increasing over the last ten years. Individuals who have not been sentenced yet are in remand custody, which is when an individual is in custody but awaiting their trail or sentence (Griffiths, 2014, p.179). Previously inmates had the larger number in prisons; however, the remand population has climbed and on most cases has outnumbered convicted inmates (Weinrath, 2009, p.355).

The reader must realize through unnatural interactions,…

The first, and more subtle, of which is the symbol of the elephant’s blood. He writes of the elephant’s “red velvet” blood. The British monarchy has long used velvet as a covering for crowns. The crown, along with the crown jewels, is symbolic of the British monarchy. By describing the blood spurting from the elephant’s heart as “velvet”, Orwell transforms the blood into a symbol of the dying British Empire and hence, the death of imperialism. The second…

Such energy prompted colonial elites to support their respective crowns in Iberia until the Napoleonic wars severed those ties. Elites suppressed revolution among the lower classes.
