The history and political system of the United KingdomKarine Grigoryan
My presentation includes the British Empire and its role throughout the world, starting with its geography, where it is situated, then language, religion and population. I'll rebound the history of the Great Britain, how it has arised and developed. The UK has the most powerful political system with the head of constitutional monarch. What attracted me the most in the UK, is its policy and relations with the European countries, and also with its fourteen overseas territories. I pay attention to the conflict with Scotland, especially what kind of relations they have now. As the role of education in the UK is huge, I represent the educational system in the Great Britain. The capital city of the United Kingdom is London, which is also the most populous region and urban zone, so I’d like to present it as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with its sightseeing, places that have historical significance, places that everyone should see at least once in their life. Moreover, I rebound the British culture, its Literature, Music, Film industry, Sport, and also British traditions and holidays, and its national symbols.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

4. LINE OF SUCCESSION
The first born son of the sovereign had

throne.
Oct. 28, 2011- CHANGE: If Will and
Kate's first child is a girl, it's now clear
that she'll probably become queen one
day — and not even getting a little brother
can mess that up.
The Commonwealth countries agreed
Friday to change centuries-old rules of
succession that put sons on the throne
ahead of any older sisters. So that
hypothetical daughter of Prince William
and Kate Middleton — now known as
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge —
would have a prime place in history: the
first princess to beat out any younger
brothers and accede to the throne. STILL
NEEDS TO BE OFFICALLY
APPROVED!!
Catholics are ineligible for the throne .

Her father was second in line for the throne. Her Uncle Edward VIII was King for less then a year. He was forced to abdicate, or give up the throne when he intended to marry Wallis Simpson, an American who was still married. They would have been married as soon as she was free to do so. You cannot become remarried in the church of England so a marriage like that to the king would have been illegal since the king is the head of the Anglican church. If he did marry her it would have created a constitutional crisis, so he chose to give up the crown and marry Ms. Simpson, allowing his brother to ascend to the throne.Elizabeth joined the women’s services of the army during WWII. Where she served as a mechanic and truck driver and an occasional ambulance driver. She saw no combat. She remains the last head of state to have served in uniform during WWII. She met her husband, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark when she was 13. They exchanged letters from then on. She was in Kenya when she heard the news of her father’s death, the day she became Queen. Her mother died shortly before her coronation, or when she receives the crown. This was the first widely broadcast television events in the world.
She has Tuesday evening meetings most weeks with her Prime Minister of the day. She has conferred with 12 Prime Ministers. Her golden jubilee was celebrated in 2002. It was celebrated shortly after the deaths of her mother and sister. She is the third lonest reigning monarch at just short of 59 years. She would become the longest serving in 2015, when she is 89. Honors and visits are her main political duties.
Most of the succession rules are outlined in the 1701 Act of Succession.The 2nd born son is second in line, the second born daughter would be behind all males and previously born daughters. At the time that the line of succession was established women had none of the rights that they have today (at least not in England) and it was believed a woman succeeding to the throne would mean that she would need to be married and thus the future of England could be controlled by an overseas king. The British monarch is also the head of the Church of England so it’s quite understandable that this role couldn’t go to a Catholic. If someone who is in line for the throne should marry a Catholic then they have to forfeit their rights to the throne, however their children are still eligible for the throne as long as they are brought up in the Anglican faith. Children born to parents who are not married cannot gain the crown, the marriage of their parents does not change this.
Lords Temporal are appointed by the sovereign on advice from the Prime Minister. Lords Spiritual are the highest ranking members of the Anglican Church.
