Fun Fact: The British Monarchy still holds a surprising amount of power, however, it's not exercised by Elizabeth II because she, rightly, believes if she did so it would lead to the abolishment of the monarchy.

[@CharlieZColt]

Here’s what I’m trying to understand. Americans seem to always frame the American Revolution as a fight against a tyrannical king in King George III. But wasn’t England basically 100% a democracy (for men at least) since the 1689 Bill of Rights?

[@mharley3791]

@@CharlieZColt this question has multiple layers to it. The top layer ( the stuff taught in US history classes) is that the bill of rights of 1689 only extended to the vote to people who owned land, and did not extend to Britain’s colonies. So the king and parliament were able to raise taxes on the colonist with out their representation (which is why “no taxation without representation” os a famous slogan in the US) A deeper layer is that there were a ton of other ideological differences between the colonies and the UK. The colonies wanted to expand west, despite treaties with Native Americans and the UK forbade it. The UK was also in the process of ending the slave trade/abolishing slavery in the UK, something that angered the southerners

[@sovietunion7643]

@@CharlieZColt ehh, it was only a democracy for those who had land, or very highly educated, and a few other exceptions. otherwise not really. like just over 2% of the white male population in britian could vote in 1770s, which considering how much of the population was under-literate and lacked understanding of noble politics its unlikely they would be able to make a educated response anyway america was very unique in having such a high literacy rate plus being so spread out with a lot of land to spread out with that democracy worked relatively well, especially with the method in america, where states today are still semi-autonomous even after several waves of centralization over the years

[@pieceofschmidtgamer]

@@mharley3791 *The colonies wanted to expand west, despite treaties with Native Americans and the UK forbade it.* In reality, the only reason why Britain forbade it was because it helped to lower the cost of defending the colonies by minimizing the number of forts needed to cover the Trans-Mississippian West. Basically the British couldn't stop the colonists from moving west (and they knew it), but if they did move West past the line they would be outside Royal Protection. Essentially, the British didn't give a damn about the Natives any more than the colonists did. Basically, during this period the British operated in regards to the Thirteen Colonies with three motivations: Cut Costs, Raise Revenue, and Punish any Intransigence from the Colonists.

IRA bombed the British into their place after famine, cultural genocide, and serfdom were imposed on Ireland. Though with Brexit, Cromwell's legacy may be undone if both sides decide to reunify in the coming decades due to the added stress of Brexit on trade in Northern Ireland. Ironic, since Brexit was an attempt to create the "UK we all know and love" even though it was more powerful under the EU.

The Second Barons war was actually caused by the taxes imposed by Henry III to raise funds for the Pope’s war against Sicily - which would give the title to his son, Edmund - as well as the favouritism he gave to the Lusingans and the Savoyards (the Lusingans were even above the law at one point).

The kings of Britain lost all power forever when Elizabeth II took the throne and declared she would reign forever. Our immortal queen will make sure that another king will not sit on the throne of Great Britain ever again. Long live the Queen.

[@jonathanwebster7091]

I think the irony of changing the Line of Succession from semi-salic (women can succeed, but only if they have no brothers), to absolute primogeniture (eldest child of the monarch can succeed no matter their gender)in Britain, while I am of course, totally in favour of it, is that literally everybody in the direct line of succession is male. So, no matter what happens (barring the highly unlikely event Britain becomes a republic in the future, or an unlikely series of deaths), we'll end up with Kings reigning over Britain for pretty much the next 150 years. This is equally true for Denmark and Luxembourg, who have both changed the law of succession to be gender-neutral, yet all those in the direct line of succession are all male.

What a lot of people don't know is the "Leges Edwardi Confessoris". Apparently, a codified set of laws that stipulated (as well as other things) the responsibilities of the monarch. The reason I say "apparently", is because it's widely understood that these laws were not really based on Edward I rule, but rather as a way to help smooth over the transition of power to William the Conqueror. In any event, these laws (referred to about 1070 and composed about 1135), were a key principle (with language such as "a king who fails in his duty loses the very name of king") in possibly why no English monarch since 1066 has ever held truly despotic power, even before 1215.

Mary, and Anne were Anglicans, but James heir would certainly become Catholic, thanks to his parents. So the parliament asked Mary and her husband to invade England and depose James. And after that parliament issued a law, that to become the ruler of England, you must be a protestant, NOT A CATHOLIC, and your consort also mustn't be a Catholic.

We did skip over parliament illegally bleeding the monarchy of it's power over time. Here and there they passed little laws that stripped the monarchy of powers such as vetoing many things, raising taxes during a time of war without consulting parliament first and deciding the budget of branches of government etc. until we get to post WW1 where the monarchy lost the last of it's power except as commander of the Royal Armed Forces and the ability to declare war and sign peace treaties. It's a real shame because the monarchy was doing real good for the people in the late 1800s and really was being lead by kings who wanted to better the life of everyone. Parliament actually in many ways caused worsened conditions after WW1 because they gave so much power to big business, and since the monarchy just before the war was working to remove big business monopolies and power the businesses clung to it like never before when they got it back. And it is the cause of many economic problems the UK faces today.

It also goes over how they used the wars to strip the last of the power away from littlerly all monarchs in Europe. It also shows that WW1 was a war everyone should've saw coming because of all these small micro wars nations were getting in, raising tensions but the media was covering it up because the wars were all basically big businesses competing for resources not countries.

[@jonathanwebster7091]

Unfortunately, Ol' Hitch was mistaken in respect to this: the title 'Defender of the Faith' (Latin: 'Fidei Defensor') has absolutely nothing to do with the monarch being head of the Church of England: it was originally granted (somewhat ironically, by the Pope) to Henry VIII for his defence, in his book, of the Roman Catholic Church against Martin Luther and the then-nascent Lutheranism. The title was then *re-granted* to the monarch by subsequent Act of Parliament. It was the later Act of Supremacy that established the monarch being head of the church. So the title is, just like the crown itself, the gift of parliament, who can rescind it by simple Act of Parliament (as they can the crown).
