In considering the process of change in the relationship...
In considering the process of change in the relationship between Ireland and Great Britain between 1801 and 1921, how far can the 1886 Home Rule
Bill be seen as a key turning point?
In 1815 Ireland was part of the union though by 1921 it was partitioned. The years in between saw group and individual efforts in trying to change the
relationship between Ireland and Great Britain. Parnell's campaign for Home Rule is seen as a key turning point that potentially was the most important
kick starting change within the union.
1886 was undoubtedly a turning point as it gave hope for 'both a just and feasible solution to the problem of the Irish government'. In 1886 the Liberal
Party Prime Minister of the UK, William Gladstone, decided that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When O'Connell won the Country Clare election in 1828 it seemed impossible for there to be no change of the rules within parliament. The Roman
Catholic Emancipation Act was passed in 1829 due overall support in the House of Commons and it could be said that this led to positive change for
Irish Nationalism. Many opportunities were sprung open by this act, especially for the middle class, in political and professional jobs in particular.
Also, O'Connell teamed up with the Whigs and managed to pass a number of acts such as the Irish Church Act, which could also have been seen to
help. O'Connell's success also seemed to forge a link between Irish nationalism and Catholicism. All of these things seem to suggest that 1829 was a
turning point for Irish nationalism.
However O'Connell's hopes that emancipation would lead to repeal did not materialise. The Act has succeeded in its intention to keep the union intact.
The middle class gained most from it and became content. They did not support the repeal campaign, and was a reason for its failure and furthermore,
there was no support in parliament for repeal of the union. There has at least been serious consideration of change in the union in 1886.
By the end of the repeal campaign O'Connell was receiving criticism from more extreme groups such as Young Ireland. The Great Famine was a key

The 1937 Constitution
Introduction
I propose to discuss in this paper the evolution of the 1922 Constitution followed by 1937 Constitution. I will briefly outline the political structure that
was present at the time of the enactment of both constitutions. This essay will then outline the main areas of difference between the 1922 and 1937
Constitutions and highlight the major influence that Eamon De Valera had on the creation of Bunreacht Na hEireann. I believe the main areas of
difference between the 1922 and 1937 Constitution were the religious beliefs, the powers of State and the fundamental rights.
Political background
On Easter Monday, 24th April 1916 the Easter Rising broke out. This was a Rebellion of the Irish Nationalist against the rule of Great Britain. This
rebellion marked the beginning of Ireland gaining their Independence. Another attempt to gaining Independence of Ireland took place in 1919 when the
IRA fought the British Army in the war of independence which lasted over 2 and a half years and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A difference in both the constitutions is the replacement of the Governor General by The President of Ireland. This shows the elimination of British
influence in Irish politics. Another major change was that the Prime Minister is now known as the Taoiseach and that the government of Ireland takes
on the role formerly known as the executive council of the Irish Free State. From a fundamental right prospective the 1937 Constitution is deemed to
be superior to any other source of law and regards to making laws there is very little difference between both the 1937 and 1922

October 21, 2014
I.Introduction:
a.In the 1400s to the 1800s, English and European colonizers wanted to explore the world. They traveled and went west, where they discovered
America. They found valuable resources which blossomed new opportunities for people to extract them. They used indigenous people and imported
slaves to help the colonizers extract these rich resources.
b.THESIS: The extracting of the resources at the new discovered land by the indigenous people and slaves was immoral because they poorly abused
and degraded them for the gain of the colonist.
II.Body:
a.From the 1400s and 1620 the Spanish and Portuguese's treated the Native Americans and slaves inhumanly. They had no respect them and didn't see
them as people. The French respected the Native Americans as allies, however they mistreated the slaves.
i.In North America, the Anasazi tribe was on of the major culture groups. They were exceptional engineers because they made pueblos, a community

They also had an advanced political and economic system at their time. When comparing to the Europeans, both groups had similar hierarchy levels
and religious rules by how most were male oriented. In Central America, one of the major cultures was the Andean civilization. They had a huge

Jonathan Swift Poetry Analysis
In the early twentieth century Ireland two poets were well known for their radicals views of the country. Theirs names were Antoine Raftery and
Jonathan Swift. Raftery was a blind man that was able to get by from traveling and singing or telling stories about Ireland. A lot of his tales were
based on how beautiful all the nature was and how connected the people were to it. He makes this point because of the hard times in Ireland due to the
French rule. The French did not care about how poor the majority of Ireland was. Swift is another poet of the time who was more focused on
bringing forward the idea to rebel against the French. He would not come right out and say this in his work but would instead suggest different points
of action like in his poem A Modest Proposal. Their work did not have a great effect until later when a poet by the name William Butler Yeats, based his
poem Cathleen ni Houlihan, off of their inspiration. In Rafterty's poem County Mayo he talks about the land of plenty. This is the town where he
was born and can remember how it was before the French took control. Being a poor, blind, old man he would ask to stay with people and in
exchange he would tell his stories. He was almost always on the move so many people heard of his tales and he became well known. The people he
would stay with were the common people, often poor farmers who loved to hear about the natural beauty of Ireland. In his stories he would tell of the

The Effectiveness of Irish Catholic and Nationalist Leaders in Advancing Their Cause in the Years 1801 and On
The Act Of Union in 1800 meant there was no longer any Irish institution capable of advancing either an Irish nationalist or catholic cause. As a result
the advancement of those causes depended on influencing the British Government directly. The catholic cause initially focused on securing
emancipation for the catholic population and aimed to improve the lives and rights of Catholics throughout the period. The nationalist cause fought for
greater Irish autonomy with full independence as its greater aim. In evaluating the effectiveness of the Irish leaders Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stuart ...

Whereas O'Connell was satisfied in 1829 it seems Parnell wanted greater reform. Parnell was able to wield more power within parliament than
O'Connell due to the weak governments of the time. In 1885 the IPP held the balance of power, which allowed Parnell to use his political skill to
earn the prospect of home rule. The fact that both the Conservative and Liberal parties had promised a Home Rule Bill shows the power Parnell held
and the possibility that existed for real, more attainable changes in Ireland. The passing of The Ashbourne Act as a statement of Conservative will
demonstrates this. It can be argued that the Home Rule Bill was an achievement in itself and opened Westminster to the possibility of home rule. I do
not believe the break–up of the Liberal party was a disaster for Irish nationalist hopes of home rule as Gladstone was able to attempt a second bill in
1892. Though it was unwise for Parnell to attempt such a bill at the time particularly as he was not involved in its inception. Alan O'Day explains how
Gladstone 'took few of his colleagues or Parnell into confidence about the details of the bill' and how it contained a great many negative provisions.

Western Europe has grown exponentially since the colonial period, and the emergence of theRepublic of Ireland and a unified United Kingdom has
clearly shown that Europe's boarders are constantly changing. Each nation has evolved in its own ways over the course of its existence, but both
show many similarities that are highly visible in governing styles, political parties, and the societies themselves. These differences are what separate
the two states from one another. Since Ireland received independence from Great Britain in 1922, its governmental processes and political parties
have changed entirely from what they were before, thus causing a massive shift of the public view of Ireland, and the United Kingdom from the
early 20th century to present day. Now, it is readily apparent that even though they are incredibly different countries both are successful and in no
worry of becoming a failed state. However, there are dissimilarities between the governing styles as well as the types of party platforms in each
region that have aided their successes. Ireland was not always its own country. For a long period, it fell under the jurisdiction of Great Britain.
Throughout the early 20th century, Ireland looked to secede from Great Britain, leading to its eventual success in the act by

Irish Republican Army Essay
Irish independence has been fought for a long time ever since the British occupied Ireland in 1172. The King of England invaded and controlled
Ireland. The invasion led to religious and territorial conflicts. There was an effort to create a church comparable to the Church of England in the
1500s. Catholics who live in Ireland were against the idea and a conflict for independence has emerged (Arena & Arrigo, 2004). The suppression of
Irish nationalism by the British in the 20th century led to the creation of martyrs for the cause led by the Irish Republican Army (Combs, 2011).
The alleged origin of the Irish Republican Army could be traced back to the Easter Rising of 1916 (Alonso, 2001; Arena & Arrigo, 2004;
Filardo–Llamas, 2013; Hart, 1997; Page & Smith, 2000). Radical nationalists, who were part of a group called the Irish Republican Brotherhood
(IRB), took the opportunity to take up arms against the British during the war in Europe (Filardo–Llamas, 2013). The Irish Republican Brotherhood
was the precursor of the modern IRA. They were a secret society who was ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The campaign had ultimately led to the creation of the Act of Ireland of 1920. This created a twenty–six county Irish Free State and six counties in
Northern Ireland (Filardo–Llamas, 2013; White, 1989). This act also allowed Northern Ireland to choose whether or not to stay with Britain or become
part of the Free State. Northern Ireland ultimately decided to stay with the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland created its own parliament in
Stormont in Belfast (Bosi, 2012; Filardo–Llamas, 2013). The Free State was mostly inhabited by Catholics while Northern Ireland was populated
mostly by Protestants (White, 1989). But the road to have a Free State did come at a price. Over 7,500 people lost their lives or were wounded
between 1917 and 1923. Many lost their homes, family and friends (Hart,

The Easter Uprising of 1916
The Easter Uprising of 1916 was an event that happened at the tail end of a long list of events that would forever change Ireland. The Uprising or
Rising, as some call it, took place mostly in Dublin but was felt throughout Ireland. The point was to gain independence from Great Britain who had
ruled Ireland for the past couple hundred years. At the turn of the 19th century England believed that Ireland had too much independence and made the
Act of Union. "The result was the Act of Union of 1801: the Irish parliament voted itself out of existence and England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
were formally politically unified for the first time" (Hegarty 2). Around the time of the First World War, Ireland began... Show more content on

The Irish were promised the Home Rule Act, but it was taken away at the start of the Ester Uprising. "This modest promise was swept away the
Easter Uprising of 1916, when a small band of rebels paralyzed the city and the Irish Republic was proclaimed from the steps of the GPO" (Hegarty).
Padhraic Pearse led about 2000 people into the Easter Revolution, only a small fraction of the people that had lived in Dublin at the time. Most of the
Irish were involved in World War I. "They had little support– many Irish volunteers had joined the war effort and the rebels were perceived to be
traitors to the great cause" (Hegarty). It would take more violence and rebellion against the British to bring attention to their cause both locally and
abroad.
The Easter Rising led to the arrests of approximately 3500 people. Although more than half were released after they were questioned; many received
unfair trials or no trial at all. When the news broke to the Irish public about the treatment of the rebels, they also found out that there were 15 fifteen
secret executions, of the leaders of the Uprising. The tables began to turn away from the War to the aid of the rebels as the truth came out. "The seven

Manifest Destiny Case Study
On July 1st, 1867 the colonies of British North America joined together in an act of Confederation, in an effort to resist mounting pressure from both
inside and outside the region, including pressure from the USA and Great Britain, and from social and economic problems inside the colonies. The
influence exerted from the US after the Civil war, including their desire to expand their country, coupled with raids from external groups and internal
problems with trade and transportation influenced the colonies to form together as one country.
Manifest Destiny was a term that originated during the 1840's. "It expressed the belief that it was Anglo–Saxon Americans' providential mission to
expand their civilization and institutions across the breadth of North America"(History.com Staff, 2010, p. 2). Manifest Destiny and the attitude that
generated it helped to fuel western settlement, the war on mexico and the removal and displacement of Native Americans (History.com Staff, 2010).

Therefore we must consider that there are other aspects such as the Famine that were significant and contributed to the changing of the Irish–British
relationship.
On the other hand, it was nationalist leader Parnell who 'brought about the whole issue of Home Rule to the forefront of British politics' and laid the
foundations for a change in British–Irish relations. Parnell's astute ability to manipulate the Irish public allowed him to unite the various shades of Irish
nationalism together and unite them under one movement; the New Departure. This united movement posed a direct threat and 'allowed him to exert
extreme pressure on the British government'. By 1879 Parnell had become president of the Land League and had forged and maintained crucial
relations with America. The American–Irish relations were heavily responsible for funding the Land League, which was crucial to Parnell's
persuading of Gladstone to pass the Land Acts of 1881 which granted the 3Fs, fair rent, free sale and fixity of tenure. The formation of Parnell's
'disciplined, pledge bound party' ensured the issues of Ireland would be present in British politics; as no british government was singularly strong

To suppress the "customary taking," the London Metropolitan Police penalized stealing from private property. With the help of discourse from
Patrick Colquhoun, stereotypes against the Irish exacerbated their criminalization. Medical terminology was applied to the Irish; they were
conceived as a diseased social body within, which the mass of laborers was 'contaminated' (Williams pg. 327). The Irish Riot Act passed in 1787
was placed to squander 'agrarian disturbances' which considered unlawful assembly a felony punishable by death (William pg. 340). Ideology or
discourse makes laws understandable and legal even if the laws are based on racial profiling and discrimination (1/17/17 Lecture 3). Therefore, the
neither Irish nor Brown and Black people have access to full entitlement of what laws and democracy are supposed to protect.

Perry Curtis Jr. in his article 'Moral and Physical Force: The Language of Violence in Irish Nationalism' points out that constitutional and physical force
nationalism existed side by side in Irish politics up until the Anglo – Irish Treaty of 1921. It appears that for a substantial period in Ireland
constitutional nationalism and physical force republicanism stood on equal ground until people had an opportunity for their own parliament and then
the physical force tradition succumb to constitutional politics. Curtis also alludes to a point made earlier in this piece in how both nationalist traditions
shared similar goals despite having different approaches to the issue of British rule. Curtis argues that the relationship between constitutional and
physical force nationalism became ''bound in a close and complex'' way that had the effect of increasing both the strength of nationalism and the
difficulties for Britain in dealing with the Irish Question. This relationship in question can be said to be a bit unusual but worked out to be extremely

In 1968, the Northern Ireland parliament had been dominated by unionists for over fifty years. Its attempts to solve social and political ills, such as
institutional discrimination against Catholics, were too slow for nationalists and republicans and too quick for many unionists. This gave rise to

The main character, Francie Brady, is a very troubled young man with an alcoholic father and a mentally ill mother. His family is frequently talked
down to and disrespected by their community. Nobody wants to deal with Francie, so when he begins acting out, he is sent away first to an
industrial school, then to a mental institution. Because he does not fit in with the ideal Irish community, Francie is pushed out. Furthermore, this
social rejection only intensifies Francie's mental instability. Francie dives into a world of delusion and fantasy, trying to create a world in which
he can be happy. He twists the world around him so he is not an outcast. No matter how badly his community treats him, he is accepted if only in
his mind. And as more and more people leave him behind, he is only driven deeper into his fantasy world. In this case, Francie, a mentally ill
delinquent and his family, are made into the "other." They do not fit into what their community sees as the ideal Ireland, so they are ostracized. This
isolation only adds fuel to the fire, driving Francie more and more into his delusions, ultimately leading to his murder of his neighbor who labelled
him and his family as "pigs." Francie can be seen as a symbol of darker side of Irish society. He is immature, emotionally stunted, and nostalgic for an

What in your view, was the short term significance of Michael Collins?
Michael Collins played a major part in Ireland's History, in the years 1916–23. He had a short but political life where he had increasingly been involved
in events such as the Easter Rising, Anglo–Irish War, Treaty Negotiations and the Civil War. Although he was only active over a relatively short period
of time, his significance in such events was profound. His public image changed throughout the years, from one of the UKs most wanted men to a
reasonable politician. In 1916 during the Easter Rising his role was relatively low key, but by 1922 he ultimately gave his life in the Civil War for what
he believed in.

The canteen staff in Frongoch described Collins as 'highly respected' and when they took problems to him he 'always listened logically'4. This helps
us understand Michael Collins' short term significance because he learnt from the military blunders made; such as the seizure of indefensible and
very vulnerable positions like St Stephen's Green5 and filled the vacuum made by the executions of the leaders of the Rising. Likewise, Frongoch
would have been different without Collins as the internees wouldn't have been able to hold out and the Irish wouldn't have developed such a fighting
force. It's a useful source because they were employed to work in the Frongoch canteens so they are indifferent to Collins, which gives this source a
high weight of argument which can be generalised to how others must have seen him who weren't closely involved with him. Then again, as it is
written so long after, it can be doubted On the contrary, the source was wrote over half a century later, so it's questionable how far someone can
precisely remember what the canteen staff thought about Collins.

The Change of the Irish Question between 1800 and 1922 Essay
The Change of the Irish Question between 1800 and 1922
The Irish Question changed dramatically between the years 1800 and 1922. The Anglican Ascendancy meant that Ireland was governed indirectly from
England. The Ascendancy angered the Catholics, limited their rights and made them pay taxes to the Protestant church. This led to dissatisfaction
amongst Catholics culminating in the 1798 Rebellion. This caused the British Government to become more involved with Ireland, as they began to fear
that Revolution could occur. It revealed to them the weaknesses of the existing, divided system in Ireland and the need for the Question to be addressed.

Emancipation would be the focus of the Irish Question from this point onwards.
Daniel O'Connell became the key individual at this point as he formed the Catholic Association in 1823 and he believed that Emancipation was a step
towards Home Rule. He campaigned by using peaceful methods and mass organization. This was therefore a new way of addressing the Irish Question
and gaining middle class support, which wouldn't want to support violent rebellion that might harm their property. O'Connell convinced the population
that there was a link between political equality and economic prosperity, by saying that if they got the vote they would also gain economic benefits and
the Ascendancy would end as Catholics gained positions of power. The 'Catholic Rent' of one penny a month was introduced, which was paid by the
Catholics to fund the Catholic Association. This separated the Catholics and Protestants further as it alienated Protestants. It made the Irish Catholic
Church a vital part of the movement, because priests were required to spread the message and help collect Catholic rent. The Catholic Association
organised open public meetings in which O'Connell was the speaker, who hinted that if the British Government did not adhere to the Irish demands the

The author emphasizes the pressure that is now forcing Lois to marry and to produce an heir so the property can be passed on for more
generations. Lois no longer sees "Big House" lifestyle as viable and therefore further adds to the confusion in which she is facing. " Lois, as the only
alternative heir, complains that she feels trapped in a " cocoon" and longs for some other kind of existence." (Genet., J, p149, 1991) The ante–room in
which Lois visits frequently serves no particular purpose and therefore symbolizes that indeed the room compares to Lois' feelings within herself of
feeling lost and lonely. "In her life – deprived as she saw it – there was no occasion for courage, which like an unused muscle slackened and slept"
(Bowen., E, p33, 1998) Another point which suggests Lois is lost and confused is the fact that often spends time walking outside the boundaries of the
house which symbolizes her need to escape from this faГ§ade, the so–called birthright of her generation. Fantasizing how life would be with out having

pay for expensive food and supplies (Takaki 173). They were also given the manual and dangerous work such as ditch digging whereas their American

Essay On Irish Republican Army
The Irish Republican Army is any of several armed movements in Ireland in the 20th and 21st centuries dedicated to Irish republicanism, the belief
that all of Ireland should be an independent republic. It was also characterized by the belief that political violence was necessary to achieve that goal.
The first known use of the term "Irish Republican Army" occurred in the Fenian raids on Canada in the 1860s. The original Irish Republican Army
formed by 1917 from those Irish Volunteers who refused to enlist in the British Army during World War I, members of the Irish Citizen Army and
others. During the Irish War of Independence it was the army of the Irish Republic, declared by DГЎil Г‰ireann in 1919. Some Irish people dispute
the claims of more recently created organizations that insist that they are the only legitimate descendants of the original IRA, often referred to as the

This organization in turn created an illegal Irish Parliament, the Dail Elreann, whom declared war on Britain that initiated the Anglo–Irish War. The
Irish Republic Army maintained two clear goals they were looking to achieve from the onset of the war. The provisional government desired a
complete separation from British rule in addition to creating an Irish Republic free of any other influence (Gray, 2008, p. 376). The war illustrates the
birth of "modern guerilla war[fare]" which in the end arguably produced survivors in place of winners (Gray, 2008, p. 371). Although the war ends
diplomatically in favor of the Irish provisional government, the newly established Ireland lacked unity primarily due to arguments over the treaty they
reluctantly signed. The continuous strive for religious freedom and ultimate desire for a united Irish state, while an ideological goal, proved
contradicting. Since the Northern counties of the Irish territory were primarily protestant and heavily influenced by the Church of England it proposed
a problem of true unity, since the Southern counties of Ireland were overwhelmingly traditional Catholics. Evidence exists for both religious freedom

control since the feudal rule under the King of Britain started in 1177. Feudal rule was brought to a close by proclamation of Henry VIII, in which he

Unlike in the War of Independence the IRA did not have the backing of many Irish–Americans. Probably the major problem with finding backing
amongst their former allies was the fact that they all almost universally welcomed the signing of the Treat. Even Irish strongholds like the city of

The Vikings : The Last And Most Dramatic Exodus
In 793 the monks on the island of Lindisfarne, off the northeast coast of England, are unpleasantly surprised by the arrival of violent raiders from the
sea. Their misfortune is the first clearly dated event in the saga of the Vikings– the last and most dramatic exodus in the long story of migration from
Scandinavia, the original home of the Goths and Vandals.
The name Viking is thought to derive from vikingr, a word for 'pirate ' in the early Scandinavian languages. It accurately describes the Norsemen who
for two centuries raid the coasts of Britain and of northwest France. But in many places the Scandinavians also settle – in the islands of the north
Atlantic, in the British Isles, in Normandy, in Sicily and in the very heart of Russia.
It is impossible to assign the various Viking groups at all precisely to places of origin. But broadly speaking, adventurers from the coast of Norway
raid the north of England and continue round the Scottish coast to Ireland. Vikings from the same region later settle in the Scottish islands, Iceland and
parts of Ireland.
The Vikings invading eastern Britain and northwest France, and eventually settling in both regions, come mainly from Denmark. The Swedes raid
across the Baltic and penetrate deep into Russia as traders.

Widespread trade commenced in the period starting in 2500 BC to 400 AD with the population consisting of various different rival groups, called the

Shortly after the year 400, St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland, which remained the dominant religion while many Celtic traditions were

Vikings. They plundered some of the newfound riches and treasures but also established Dublin and many other important cities, such as Wexford,
Waterford, Cork, and Limerick. This control by the vikings ended around 1200 when the Normans (from modern day France) invaded and conquered
England and Ireland, establishing a lordship which began the next several hundred years of British rule. By 1600 much of this dependency was in the
form of plantations controlled by Britain, and in 1641 a rebellion was staged by the protestant colonists. Similar conflict continued into the 1700s, and

individual member states, including Ireland, resorting to national responses. This has led to fears that member states have acted in an anti–competitive
manner, bringing the basis of the Single Market and the stability of the euro (EUR) into question. In turn this has led to fundamental questions... Show

Investors searching for higher yields than those offered by US Treasury bonds sought alternatives globally (NPR–The Giant Pool of Money, 2008).
Since 2007, nations around the world experienced a series of major economic and financial problems. It resulted in the threat of total collapse of large
financial institutions, the bailout of banks by national governments, and downturns in stock markets around the world. The housing market also
suffered, resulting in evictions, foreclosures and prolonged unemployment. The crisis played a significant role in the failure of key businesses, declines
in consumer wealth estimated in trillions of US dollars, and a downturn in economic activity leading to the global recession and contributing to the
European sovereign–debt crisis. The 9th August 2007 began with the seizure in the banking system precipitated by BNP Paribas announcing that it was
ceasing activity in three hedge funds that specialised in United State (US) mortgage debt. On 15th September 2008 when the US government allowed
the investment bank Lehman Brothers to go bankrupt. Up to that point, it had been assumed that governments would always step in to bail out any

In Considering The Process Of Change In The Relationship...

  • 1. In considering the process of change in the relationship... In considering the process of change in the relationship between Ireland and Great Britain between 1801 and 1921, how far can the 1886 Home Rule Bill be seen as a key turning point? In 1815 Ireland was part of the union though by 1921 it was partitioned. The years in between saw group and individual efforts in trying to change the relationship between Ireland and Great Britain. Parnell's campaign for Home Rule is seen as a key turning point that potentially was the most important kick starting change within the union. 1886 was undoubtedly a turning point as it gave hope for 'both a just and feasible solution to the problem of the Irish government'. In 1886 the Liberal Party Prime Minister of the UK, William Gladstone, decided that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... When O'Connell won the Country Clare election in 1828 it seemed impossible for there to be no change of the rules within parliament. The Roman Catholic Emancipation Act was passed in 1829 due overall support in the House of Commons and it could be said that this led to positive change for Irish Nationalism. Many opportunities were sprung open by this act, especially for the middle class, in political and professional jobs in particular. Also, O'Connell teamed up with the Whigs and managed to pass a number of acts such as the Irish Church Act, which could also have been seen to help. O'Connell's success also seemed to forge a link between Irish nationalism and Catholicism. All of these things seem to suggest that 1829 was a turning point for Irish nationalism. However O'Connell's hopes that emancipation would lead to repeal did not materialise. The Act has succeeded in its intention to keep the union intact. The middle class gained most from it and became content. They did not support the repeal campaign, and was a reason for its failure and furthermore, there was no support in parliament for repeal of the union. There has at least been serious consideration of change in the union in 1886. By the end of the repeal campaign O'Connell was receiving criticism from more extreme groups such as Young Ireland. The Great Famine was a key event in changing the relationship between Great Britain and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. The 1937 Constitution Introduction I propose to discuss in this paper the evolution of the 1922 Constitution followed by 1937 Constitution. I will briefly outline the political structure that was present at the time of the enactment of both constitutions. This essay will then outline the main areas of difference between the 1922 and 1937 Constitutions and highlight the major influence that Eamon De Valera had on the creation of Bunreacht Na hEireann. I believe the main areas of difference between the 1922 and 1937 Constitution were the religious beliefs, the powers of State and the fundamental rights. Political background On Easter Monday, 24th April 1916 the Easter Rising broke out. This was a Rebellion of the Irish Nationalist against the rule of Great Britain. This rebellion marked the beginning of Ireland gaining their Independence. Another attempt to gaining Independence of Ireland took place in 1919 when the IRA fought the British Army in the war of independence which lasted over 2 and a half years and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A difference in both the constitutions is the replacement of the Governor General by The President of Ireland. This shows the elimination of British influence in Irish politics. Another major change was that the Prime Minister is now known as the Taoiseach and that the government of Ireland takes on the role formerly known as the executive council of the Irish Free State. From a fundamental right prospective the 1937 Constitution is deemed to be superior to any other source of law and regards to making laws there is very little difference between both the 1937 and 1922 ...

Neil Mendez History 15A Section 10 October 21, 2014 I.Introduction: a.In the 1400s to the 1800s, English and European colonizers wanted to explore the world. They traveled and went west, where they discovered America. They found valuable resources which blossomed new opportunities for people to extract them. They used indigenous people and imported slaves to help the colonizers extract these rich resources. b.THESIS: The extracting of the resources at the new discovered land by the indigenous people and slaves was immoral because they poorly abused and degraded them for the gain of the colonist. II.Body: a.From the 1400s and 1620 the Spanish and Portuguese's treated the Native Americans and slaves inhumanly. They had no respect them and didn't see them as people. The French respected the Native Americans as allies, however they mistreated the slaves. i.In North America, the Anasazi tribe was on of the major culture groups. They were exceptional engineers because they made pueblos, a community like house. The Anasazi were also very religious people. However only men were allowed to worship in Kivas, a room used for ceremonial purposes. They also had an advanced political and economic system at their time. When comparing to the Europeans, both groups had similar hierarchy levels and religious rules by how most were male oriented.

  • 4. Jonathan Swift Poetry Analysis In the early twentieth century Ireland two poets were well known for their radicals views of the country. Theirs names were Antoine Raftery and Jonathan Swift. Raftery was a blind man that was able to get by from traveling and singing or telling stories about Ireland. A lot of his tales were based on how beautiful all the nature was and how connected the people were to it. He makes this point because of the hard times in Ireland due to the French rule. The French did not care about how poor the majority of Ireland was. Swift is another poet of the time who was more focused on bringing forward the idea to rebel against the French. He would not come right out and say this in his work but would instead suggest different points of action like in his poem A Modest Proposal. Their work did not have a great effect until later when a poet by the name William Butler Yeats, based his poem Cathleen ni Houlihan, off of their inspiration. In Rafterty's poem County Mayo he talks about the land of plenty. This is the town where he was born and can remember how it was before the French took control. Being a poor, blind, old man he would ask to stay with people and in exchange he would tell his stories. He was almost always on the move so many people heard of his tales and he became well known. The people he would stay with were the common people, often poor farmers who loved to hear about the natural beauty of Ireland. In his stories he would tell of the land of plenty and how it was now ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

In 1495, English law is applied to Ireland and Henry VIII took supremacy over the existing Irish parliament. Under the rule of Henry VIII, the Irish church is also separated from the Papacy like the Anglican Church. This further inflamed the Irish over English rule. By 1558, the start of Elizabeth I's rule, Roman Catholicism is associated with the Irish struggle against England and the Irish refused English reform of the Church. In the 1560s, an Irish revolt is suppressed and all land is resettled with Englishmen. By 1660, the English are well settled in Ireland and English law is standard. During the reign of James I (1603–1625), Catholic schools are closed and children were taught in Protesant schools.

The Effectiveness of Irish Catholic and Nationalist Leaders in Advancing Their Cause in the Years 1801 and On The Act Of Union in 1800 meant there was no longer any Irish institution capable of advancing either an Irish nationalist or catholic cause. As a result the advancement of those causes depended on influencing the British Government directly. The catholic cause initially focused on securing emancipation for the catholic population and aimed to improve the lives and rights of Catholics throughout the period. The nationalist cause fought for greater Irish autonomy with full independence as its greater aim. In evaluating the effectiveness of the Irish leaders Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stuart ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Whereas O'Connell was satisfied in 1829 it seems Parnell wanted greater reform. Parnell was able to wield more power within parliament than O'Connell due to the weak governments of the time. In 1885 the IPP held the balance of power, which allowed Parnell to use his political skill to earn the prospect of home rule. The fact that both the Conservative and Liberal parties had promised a Home Rule Bill shows the power Parnell held and the possibility that existed for real, more attainable changes in Ireland. The passing of The Ashbourne Act as a statement of Conservative will demonstrates this. It can be argued that the Home Rule Bill was an achievement in itself and opened Westminster to the possibility of home rule. I do not believe the break–up of the Liberal party was a disaster for Irish nationalist hopes of home rule as Gladstone was able to attempt a second bill in 1892. Though it was unwise for Parnell to attempt such a bill at the time particularly as he was not involved in its inception. Alan O'Day explains how Gladstone 'took few of his colleagues or Parnell into confidence about the details of the bill' and how it contained a great many negative provisions. Following Parnell's infamous home rule attempt no other leader of the IPP emerged as such an ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. The Republic Of Ireland And The United Kingdom The Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom An Analysis of Governments, Politics, and Society in the Region Conall P. MacKenzie FP230 Short Paper LCDR Rachael Gosnell 24SEP2015 Western Europe has grown exponentially since the colonial period, and the emergence of theRepublic of Ireland and a unified United Kingdom has clearly shown that Europe's boarders are constantly changing. Each nation has evolved in its own ways over the course of its existence, but both show many similarities that are highly visible in governing styles, political parties, and the societies themselves. These differences are what separate the two states from one another. Since Ireland received independence from Great Britain in 1922, its governmental processes and political parties have changed entirely from what they were before, thus causing a massive shift of the public view of Ireland, and the United Kingdom from the early 20th century to present day. Now, it is readily apparent that even though they are incredibly different countries both are successful and in no worry of becoming a failed state. However, there are dissimilarities between the governing styles as well as the types of party platforms in each region that have aided their successes. Ireland was not always its own country. For a long period, it fell under the jurisdiction of Great Britain. Throughout the early 20th century, Ireland looked to secede from Great Britain, leading to its eventual success in the act by ...

  • 8. Irish Republican Army Essay Irish independence has been fought for a long time ever since the British occupied Ireland in 1172. The King of England invaded and controlled Ireland. The invasion led to religious and territorial conflicts. There was an effort to create a church comparable to the Church of England in the 1500s. Catholics who live in Ireland were against the idea and a conflict for independence has emerged (Arena & Arrigo, 2004). The suppression of Irish nationalism by the British in the 20th century led to the creation of martyrs for the cause led by the Irish Republican Army (Combs, 2011). The alleged origin of the Irish Republican Army could be traced back to the Easter Rising of 1916 (Alonso, 2001; Arena & Arrigo, 2004; Filardo–Llamas, 2013; Hart, 1997; Page & Smith, 2000). Radical nationalists, who were part of a group called the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), took the opportunity to take up arms against the British during the war in Europe (Filardo–Llamas, 2013). The Irish Republican Brotherhood was the precursor of the modern IRA. They were a secret society who was ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The campaign had ultimately led to the creation of the Act of Ireland of 1920. This created a twenty–six county Irish Free State and six counties in Northern Ireland (Filardo–Llamas, 2013; White, 1989). This act also allowed Northern Ireland to choose whether or not to stay with Britain or become part of the Free State. Northern Ireland ultimately decided to stay with the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland created its own parliament in Stormont in Belfast (Bosi, 2012; Filardo–Llamas, 2013). The Free State was mostly inhabited by Catholics while Northern Ireland was populated mostly by Protestants (White, 1989). But the road to have a Free State did come at a price. Over 7,500 people lost their lives or were wounded between 1917 and 1923. Many lost their homes, family and friends (Hart, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Historical Archaeology Of The 19th Century During swift's time, there had been long, expensive wars between King James and who would later be referred to as king William in Ireland.

The land that could not longer be owned by the Catholics The defeat of James ' forces by his Protestant son–in–law, William of Orange,Ireland had become a Protestant–dominated country by the end of the seventeenth century, with political power firmly in the hands of the island 's landowning Protestant Ascendancy, a class that experienced its great affluence and influence during the eighteenth century.

  • 10. Essay on The Easter Uprising of 1916 The Easter Uprising of 1916 The Easter Uprising of 1916 was an event that happened at the tail end of a long list of events that would forever change Ireland. The Uprising or Rising, as some call it, took place mostly in Dublin but was felt throughout Ireland. The point was to gain independence from Great Britain who had ruled Ireland for the past couple hundred years. At the turn of the 19th century England believed that Ireland had too much independence and made the Act of Union. "The result was the Act of Union of 1801: the Irish parliament voted itself out of existence and England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were formally politically unified for the first time" (Hegarty 2). Around the time of the First World War, Ireland began... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Irish were promised the Home Rule Act, but it was taken away at the start of the Ester Uprising. "This modest promise was swept away the Easter Uprising of 1916, when a small band of rebels paralyzed the city and the Irish Republic was proclaimed from the steps of the GPO" (Hegarty). Padhraic Pearse led about 2000 people into the Easter Revolution, only a small fraction of the people that had lived in Dublin at the time. Most of the Irish were involved in World War I. "They had little support– many Irish volunteers had joined the war effort and the rebels were perceived to be traitors to the great cause" (Hegarty). It would take more violence and rebellion against the British to bring attention to their cause both locally and abroad. The Easter Rising led to the arrests of approximately 3500 people. Although more than half were released after they were questioned; many received unfair trials or no trial at all. When the news broke to the Irish public about the treatment of the rebels, they also found out that there were 15 fifteen secret executions, of the leaders of the Uprising. The tables began to turn away from the War to the aid of the rebels as the truth came out. "The seven signatories of the proclamation of independence ( Pearse, Connolly, Clarke, MacDonagh, MacDermott, Plunkett, and Ceannt) were all executed to the outrage of the Irish ...

  • 12. Manifest Destiny Case Study On July 1st, 1867 the colonies of British North America joined together in an act of Confederation, in an effort to resist mounting pressure from both inside and outside the region, including pressure from the USA and Great Britain, and from social and economic problems inside the colonies. The influence exerted from the US after the Civil war, including their desire to expand their country, coupled with raids from external groups and internal problems with trade and transportation influenced the colonies to form together as one country. Manifest Destiny was a term that originated during the 1840's. "It expressed the belief that it was Anglo–Saxon Americans' providential mission to expand their civilization and institutions across the breadth of North America"(History.com Staff, 2010, p. 2). Manifest Destiny and the attitude that generated it helped to fuel western settlement, the war on mexico and the removal and displacement of Native Americans (History.com Staff, 2010).

The treaty was abolished by the US on March 17th, 1866. The loss of the treaty and increased duties and tariffs increased support for Confederation. (Masters, D., 2013) Without trade to the USA, the colonies needed a way to trade with themselves.

How significant were the nationalist leaders in changing the relationship between Great Britain and Ireland in the period 1815–1922? Robert Pearce cites the work of 'outstanding nationalist leaders joining together to oppose the tyranny of England and compelling her to retreat and abandon most of Ireland'. Whilst O'Connell campaigned for the emancipation of Catholics, uniting them and bringing about political advancement, his significance is questionable; after 1840 he had failed to bring about repeal. In comparison Parnell finally made the image of Home Rule a realistic possibility and Collins who ultimately brought about negotiations of the Anglo–Irish treaty; effectively leading Ireland to freedom. In assessing the significance of the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Therefore we must consider that there are other aspects such as the Famine that were significant and contributed to the changing of the Irish–British relationship. On the other hand, it was nationalist leader Parnell who 'brought about the whole issue of Home Rule to the forefront of British politics' and laid the foundations for a change in British–Irish relations. Parnell's astute ability to manipulate the Irish public allowed him to unite the various shades of Irish nationalism together and unite them under one movement; the New Departure.

By 1879 Parnell had become president of the Land League and had forged and maintained crucial relations with America. The American–Irish relations were heavily responsible for funding the Land League, which was crucial to Parnell's persuading of Gladstone to pass the Land Acts of 1881 which granted the 3Fs, fair rent, free sale and fixity of tenure.

The role of colonialism in the creation of an inherent Brown and Black criminality and the ways in which the early emergence of Black and Brown as a construct occurred by the creation of laws that incriminated them and the egregious discourse against them that resulted in racial violence. Racial violence is a legal and extralegal production and exploitation of group differentiated vulnerability to premature death (lecture 3 1/17/17).

With the help of discourse from Patrick Colquhoun, stereotypes against the Irish exacerbated their criminalization. Medical terminology was applied to the Irish; they were conceived as a diseased social body within, which the mass of laborers was 'contaminated' (Williams pg. 327). The Irish Riot Act passed in 1787 was placed to squander 'agrarian disturbances' which considered unlawful assembly a felony punishable by death (William pg. 340). Ideology or discourse makes laws understandable and legal even if the laws are based on racial profiling and discrimination (1/17/17 Lecture 3). Therefore, the neither Irish nor Brown and Black people have access to full entitlement of what laws and democracy are supposed to protect.

In the book Irish Peasants Violence and Political Unrest 1780 – 1914 editors Samuel Clark and James S. Donnelly Jr. suggest, in the opening paragraph, that poverty related rebellion in Ireland became commonplace during the late 18th and early 19th century that led to the ideas of a separatist republic. These events gave rise to, at first, a constitutional nationalist party called The Society of United Irishmen that sought parliamentary reform and to make this change they worked through parliament before later becoming an armed revolutionary group.

Curtis also alludes to a point made earlier in this piece in how both nationalist traditions shared similar goals despite having different approaches to the issue of British rule. Curtis argues that the relationship between constitutional and physical force nationalism became ''bound in a close and complex'' way that had the effect of increasing both the strength of nationalism and the difficulties for Britain in dealing with the Irish Question.

Because he does not fit in with the ideal Irish community, Francie is pushed out. Furthermore, this social rejection only intensifies Francie's mental instability. Francie dives into a world of delusion and fantasy, trying to create a world in which he can be happy. He twists the world around him so he is not an outcast.

Likewise, Frongoch would have been different without Collins as the internees wouldn't have been able to hold out and the Irish wouldn't have developed such a fighting force. It's a useful source because they were employed to work in the Frongoch canteens so they are indifferent to Collins, which gives this source a high weight of argument which can be generalised to how others must have seen him who weren't closely involved with him.

The Anglican Ascendancy meant that Ireland was governed indirectly from England. The Ascendancy angered the Catholics, limited their rights and made them pay taxes to the Protestant church. This led to dissatisfaction amongst Catholics culminating in the 1798 Rebellion.

This was therefore a new way of addressing the Irish Question and gaining middle class support, which wouldn't want to support violent rebellion that might harm their property. O'Connell convinced the population that there was a link between political equality and economic prosperity, by saying that if they got the vote they would also gain economic benefits and the Ascendancy would end as Catholics gained positions of power. The 'Catholic Rent' of one penny a month was introduced, which was paid by the Catholics to fund the Catholic Association. This separated the Catholics and Protestants further as it alienated Protestants. It made the Irish Catholic Church a vital part of the movement, because priests were required to spread the message and help collect Catholic rent.

"In her life – deprived as she saw it – there was no occasion for courage, which like an unused muscle slackened and slept" (Bowen., E, p33, 1998) Another point which suggests Lois is lost and confused is the fact that often spends time walking outside the boundaries of the house which symbolizes her need to escape from this faГ§ade, the so–called birthright of her generation.

The Irish Republic Army maintained two clear goals they were looking to achieve from the onset of the war. The provisional government desired a complete separation from British rule in addition to creating an Irish Republic free of any other influence (Gray, 2008, p. 376). The war illustrates the birth of "modern guerilla war[fare]" which in the end arguably produced survivors in place of winners (Gray, 2008, p. 371). Although the war ends diplomatically in favor of the Irish provisional government, the newly established Ireland lacked unity primarily due to arguments over the treaty they reluctantly signed.

They plundered some of the newfound riches and treasures but also established Dublin and many other important cities, such as Wexford, Waterford, Cork, and Limerick.
