that the colonist pay duties for doubling in size and seizing massive control over valuable resources. In addition, England passed numerous Acts to gain money from the colonist. At first, Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765; however, this act was later repealed due to the heavy protest and hostile acts of the colonial settlers. The repeal of the Stamp Act was a slap in the face toward Parliament. England was viewed as a major military power, and now was being told what to do by a…

In other words, external cause is the only factor that contributed to one’s actions. The latter type is involuntary actions done through ignorance. This is dependent on the degree of one’s ignorance; ignorance that isn’t one’s fault is considered excusable, and it does not include willful ignorance, ignorance of the law, and recklessness or…

describes as the ‘mythology’ surrounding the 1944 Butler Act. With the help of historian David Crook he ousts the idea that Butlers education act was responsible for the ’11 plus’ or for the introduction of the ‘tripartite system’. He does however move quickly away from the discrepancies surrounding the Butler act and instead focuses on the development of the education system in the British state, and how these developments link back to the Butler act of 1944. Before he moves on to this…

the case? The judgement was delivered by Lord Hale who commenced by stating the main issue regarding the meaning of “regularly” with respect to a child’s attendance at school and brought up the instance in which the word was brought up in the Education Act 1996.

Sure learning was slower, but unlike common belief, when technology became super popular, it didn’t speed learning up, it just made it easier. It did however have two big negative impacts on students lives. One, they became lazier and two it made school…

The American Revolution The American Revolution started in 1765 and ended in 1783 after the French and Indian War. The reason why the American Revolution occurred was because the colonists were tired of the British monarchy and aristocracy. The colonists had the right to revolutionize against the British. During this time the British Crown had no idea how the colonists lived and the rules he was suppressing on them seemed unjust to the colonists. At first he sent men to settle the land and…
