2 The English Legacy 2 The English Legacy

3 The English Legacy 3 Outline Importance of events and ideas Events: English political experience Conflict between monarch and subjects (Parliament) Glorious Revolution of 1688 English Bill of Rights (1689) Ideas: John Locke Rule of law

4 The English Legacy 4 Influence of events and ideas Important to realize how much perceptions and views are affected by events and ideas. How have the following affected the world? The fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 The 9/11 attacks in the U.S. The recent events in the Middle East (the Arab Spring ) The interplay of events and ideas has been critical throughout history.

5 The English Legacy 5 Influence of events and ideas Views of the relationship between the monarch and his subjects changed greatly in England from the 13 th through the 18 th centuries. Significant movement away from the idea of absolute monarchy toward individual freedom. This change of views was effected by the interplay of both ideas and events.

6 The English Legacy 6 Events: Magna Carta Magna Carta (1215): the beginning of constitutional law in England Agreement between King John and barons; constrained power of the King Specified that the King was bound by law Principles refined and extended over the years

7 The English Legacy 7 Events: Political Struggles of 17 th Century England James I ( ) & Charles I ( ) [Stuarts] Claimed to rule by divine right Conflict with Parliament James I Charles I

8 The English Legacy 8 Events: Political Struggles of 17 th Century England Civil War of Charles I beheaded Oliver Cromwell ruled as virtual dictator until his death in 1658 ( Lord Protector ) Colonists learned two things: King could be overthrown Royal power might be replaced by something worse Oliver Cromwell

9 The English Legacy 9 Events: Political Struggles of 17 th Century England The Restoration Stuarts were restored to a weakened throne (1660) Charles II ( ) followed by brother James II ( ) Conflict continued Charles II James II

10 The English Legacy 10 Events: Political Struggles of 17 th Century England Glorious Revolution of 1688 James II fled to France English Bill of Rights (1689) Firmly established supremacy of Parliament William and Mary appointed as joint monarchs

11 The English Legacy 11 Events: Political Struggles of 17 th Century England Colonists considered themselves English with all the rights of Englishmen. Consequently, all of these events directly affected them

12 The English Legacy 12 Ideas Ideas and events tend to move together Many important thinkers; we focus on just one who was particularly influential for Americans.

13 The English Legacy 13 Ideas John Locke ( ) Influential English philosopher In exile in Holland before the Glorious Revolution Second Treatise on Government (1689) His ideas had great impact on American Founders

14 Locke on Sovereignty Locke addressed the question of sovereignty: Where does the ultimate authority to rule lie?

15 Locke on Sovereignty Various options God Kings (Monarchy)

16 Video: Monty Python Sophisticated discussion of sovereignty. Who has ultimate authority? Upon what is that authority based?

17 Locke on Sovereignty Various options God Kings (Monarchy) Religion Priests (Theocracy)

18 Iran: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Legitimacy through Religious Authority: Theocracy

19 Locke on Sovereignty Various options God Kings (Monarchy) Religion Priests (Theocracy) Talents, Wisdom Elite (Aristocracy) Locke s view The People Elected Representatives (Democracy)

20 Locke on Liberty Locke s Argument (Second Treatise) Natural rights: life, liberty, property. State of nature may not preserve rights. Men create a social compact (government) to secure natural rights. Government s sole purpose: protect people s natural rights. Government exists only with consent of governed. If government violates the contract, people have the right (and duty) to revolt.

21 The English Legacy 21 Rule of Law Locke s emphasis on the sovereignty of the people led to the concept of the rule of law as opposed to the rule of will. Locke: Freedom is this: freedom of men under government, to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society and made by the legislative power erected in it, a liberty to follow my own will in all things where the rule proscribes not, and not to be subjected to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will of another man.

22 Rule of Law Government in all its actions is bound by rules fixed and announced beforehand rules which make it possible to foresee with fair certainty how the authority will use its coercive powers in given circumstances, and to plan one s individual affairs on the basis of this knowledge. F. A. Hayek

23 The English Legacy 23 Principles of the Rule of Law Generality Prospectivity Publicity Consent Due Process

24 iclicker Question On the day of the big BYU-Utah football game in Salt Lake City, police are only pulling over and giving tickets to cars with BYU stickers. Which rule of law principle does his violate? A. Generality B. Prospectivity C. Publicity D. Consent E. Due Process
