Down with the monarchy, we are no ones subjects.
"Long live the queen" more like long live the British defecit.
Over the last few years the British government has made a lot of cuts to the things we desperately need such as education, housing, health and public services. When will the madness end? The biggest mistake the government are making is cutting from the minor things we do not need that could be easily taken away with few setbacks like the monarchy.
In the early 1800's, the royals were viewed with the upper most of gratitude and respect. The Royals were a symbol of the countries strength, power and status. Now the tables have turned and they've turned into a huge joke, who's lives seem to resemble, the lives of those on bad reality

In 2013-14 the monarchy has cost the poor tax payers 35.7 million, which is approximately 56p per person a year. Obviously members of the royal family have came to agree with claims that their services are value for money, but is this claim accurate? I don't think so. Why should we pay our hard earned cash, for a family to live the elitist life when most of us couldn't afford it for ourselves. Why should the tax payers, be expected to pay for their 20 room houses with security for Will and Kate, and the big fancy and tacky weddings, expensive holidays, and fancy …show more content…
If the monarchy were "worth the money" why would people doubt that they are. Why don't we have any evidence to back up their value, I'm sorry but their word isn't good enough for me and it shouldn't be good enough for you. Some uneducated people may argue that the royal family still have the same relevance as they did centuries ago, but this is simply untrue. Back in the 1800s the monarchy were the only controllers of the country or the main controllers anyway but now we have politicians who decide everything. All the monarchy do is rubber stamp bills and sit around pocketing the public's hard earned
The American Revolution began when all of the laws and taxes were being passed on to the Americans. The Americans eventually fought for and won their independence by rebelling against the British Parliament. Britain's laws made for the Americans were only an advantage to the British, which was unfair.
Two of the major events prior to the American Revolution were the enactment of the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act in 1765. Both were designed to increase British tax revenues. The American colonies could handle these new taxes, however, the colonists began to question question whether Parliament had the right to tax the colonies.
Written by Brendan McConville, The Kings Three Faces: The Rise & Fall of Royal America is a masterful study of the colonial American approach toward monarchy, and the way this attitude was in political cultures just before the revolution. Just like other scholars who rush to promote their work, Brendan exaggerates his claim leading him to provide a counter thesis on the historiographical convention.
The relationship and status of the monarchy in parliament’s eyes had already been in a state of decline even before Charles’ reign. His predecessor had been known as the ‘wisest fool in Christendom’ and there was a lot of resentment
Thomas Paine is not an advocate of monarchy. In fact, he called monarchy institutionalized robbing. In his work Rights of Man, the political philosopher contrasts old government with new government, defining the former as hereditary and the latter as a representative system. Specifically, Paine had two major objections to monarchy; first, he argued that a hereditary government is a imposition on humans, and secondly, “it is inadequate to the purpose for which government is necessary” (Paine 113). A hereditary government unfairly binds future generations, this would make the monarchy illegitimate because a government must have continuous consent in order to be legitimate. If a monarch inherits a kingdom he too inherits its people, Paine says to inherit people is to treat them as farm animals. To sum up this point, Paine exclaims that a hereditary monarchy reduces humans to beasts.
A lot of people say that the Queen does nothing to help Canada, so why shouldn’t we get rid of the monarchy? Well, I believe the opposite because by removing the monarchy it’ll just cause even more problems than solutions. One of the big problems is that to remove the Monarchy you would have to create a Constitutional Amendment, which would mean that whole parliament and all provinces would have to agree with this decision; most likely this will tear Canada apart. This brings me to the second problem, which is that the provinces would just start to ask for more demands, specifically Quebec and/or Alberta. So if you really think about it, the Monarchy isn’t really causing any issues that need to be fixed and that it would cause even more problems if we got rid of
There are many events that happened in history that makes the world how it is today. Many people don’t realize that society has changed dramatically from the 17th century to now. In those days they dealt with a different type of government system, (monarchy) in which the king is in control of the government. Some kings are great in which they run their country well and have the respect of those around them and beneath them in society, and you also have those who don’t have the respect or the authority to the people.
A monarch is in control. You are being what to do by someone you do not even want ruling your country. What could you do? This is how your world works, it’s always worked like this, so why change it? Simply change it because you are unhappy with the way the world is, you deserve to enjoy the country you live in. That there, change the society, is exactly what the Enlightenment thinkers wanted to do. The Enlightenment thinkers are a group of people who found countless flaws in the way people decided to run the countries. Therefore, of all the Enlightenment thinkers, I believe John Locke, David Hume, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau impacted the world the most due to them having a full grasp on the ideologies of humanity.
Believe that the NHS should not to be privatised but reformed to meet the challenges of the 21st century while remaining in the public sector. She pointed out that across the country, the NHS is selling off its land and buildings and closing its services. This is happening at an unprecedented rate which is switching NHS funds and services away from NHS services to the private sector. The total debt is £50bn rising to £90bn and will lock-in future governments and future taxpayers for many decades to come. The NHS currently pays £0.5bn pounds a year in PFI charges and this debt is set to quadruple to £2.3bn a year by 2010. The beneficiaries are the banks, the shareholders and the venture capitalists, the construction industry and facilities management. The losers are the service users, staff and the British public.

Summarize the problem-the main problem with monarchs is that they are decreasing in population very
Funding for the NHS is a combination of private and public sources. All legal UK residents have access to the NHS and pay a payroll tax, which equates approximately to 10% of earnings. Although health care provided by the NHS is largely free, there are fees for certain services such as prescriptions, dental and optician services, which are paid by all citizens who are working and make more than minimum wage.
The National health services (NHS) provides a comprehensive healthcare services across the entire nation. It is considered to be UK’s proudest institution, and is envied by many other countries because of its free of cost health delivery to its population. Nevertheless, it is often seen as a ‘political football’ as it affects all of us in some way and hence everyone carry an opinion about it (Cass, 2006). Factors such as government policies, funding, number of service users, taxation etc all make up small parts of this large complex organisation. Therefore, any imbalances within one sector can pose a substantial risk on the overall NHS (Wheeler & Grice, 2000). This essay will discuss whether the NHS aim of reducing the nations need
Today monarchy has become an attraction, which flashes every side of the royal family. Hilary Mantel believes that we are looking at royalties as if they were figures or dolls, who we can treat as we want to. We always have a comment to what they are wearing, if they look good or not, what they are doing right or wrong etc. We are allowing monarchy to treat its persons as entertainment objects.
The English monarchy had some great dictators who were fair and just. They also had some very bad and inexperienced monarchs who didn’t know what they were doing. The bad leaders messed a lot of things up for the English monarchy. This essay will state the good and bad of the English monarchy. Their were a lot of stupid changes made by dictators that caused the death of many religious groups.
Crowns are an integral part of a monarchy. Honor, respect, prestige, and royalty are all displayed by the wearing of a regal headpiece. Different styles, colors, and materials can often depict different levels and styles of reign, as well as the style of the times. Over the years, they have become more valued in a monarchy, especially the British Monarchy. Crowns did not always look like they do today, for many changes in styles and design have occurred throughout history. A leader in this design was Queen Victoria of England. She wore many beautiful crowns during her extensive reign, and this inspired the present day value of crowns inside the British Monarchy.
