What character traits did king george iii have? help essay!?
Most historians have stressed his stubbornness. He did not wish to relent when he felt certain he was in the right (and he nearly always felt this way). He was a strong believer in what have been called "metropolitan" (centralized) rule and the primacy of the authority of a "king in Parliament" (hence why he asserted metropolitan rule over the colonies). The wilder claims of the American revolutionaries of his tyrannical nature were just so much rhetoric. He was also deeply mentally ill in the latter half of his long reign, to the point where he was basically institutionalized and his son became the "Prince Regent" to act as head of state in cooperation with Parliamentary leaders for two decades.
Was King Charles II a bad king?
Well he didn’t get his head chopped off like his father and he wasn’t forced to flee the country like his brother, so he must have done an adequate job.Charles II did mess about with the spirit of the constitution though, if not its letter. The Triennial Acts intended to prevent any subsequent king doing what Charles I did and try and rule without Parliament unfortunately did not say anything about having elections every three years. When Charles II got a parliament he liked - the Cavalier Parliament - willing to do what he wanted and to vote money to all his mates, he kept it for 18 years nearly outdoing the Long Parliament which had done for his father.There were riots against him during his reign, but after the Civil War and the confusion of the Commonwealth and Protectorate there was no appetite for ousting him. And despite some monumental cock ups like the Raid on the Medway and his profligate spending on parties, horse racing and mistresses, on the whole his reign was one of reasonable prosperity for England and Scotland despite disasters like the plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of London.He did take revenge for the death of his father, but did mostly stick to the terms of the Declaration of Breda and left most of the former Parliamentarians alone. He didn’t really follow the bits about religious tolerance though, allowing the Anglicans to rule supreme and excluded members of the other sects from holding public office or attending university, resulting in an exodus of non-Conformists to the colonies. This was the safety valve that at least in part diffused the sectarian conflicts that had played a role in stoking the Civil War 20 years before.So overall, adequate. As Richard Easey said Charles II knew there were limits to his people’s patience and what happened when those limits were breached. He did not attempt absolutism and mostly worked within the constitutional constraints that brought him back to the throne, but he did push back somewhat. His brother James II pushed too far and got his comeuppance paving the way for he effective sidelining of the monarchy over the course of the 18th century.

For example, Hermione is insecure because she carries a stigma of being a Muggle born, and has to prove herself to her peers, while Ron is insecure because of his family's wealth (or lack of). Answering this one was fun!

What is the characteristics of national anthems?
Hymns, marches, anthems or fanfares used as official patriotic symbols. The term for these became current in the early 19th century (in most countries it is the equivalent of ‘national hymn’). Such pieces are performed on ceremonial occasions and at some types of theatrical or sporting event. The earliest is the British one, God Save the King/Queen, which came to be used in the1740 s; several other countries adopted national anthems later in the 18th century, including France (La marseillaise) and Austria (Emperor's Hymn, by Haydn). Many more were adopted during the 19th century, but only since the mid-20th century have Eastern countries followed. The texts of national anthems usually embody patriotic fervour; the music is sometimes hymn-like, often martial, occasionally operatic and sometimes based on local folk-music traditions. British History: national anthem First published in recognizable form in 1744 (ambiguously as ‘God save our Lord the King’) but performed at Drury Lane, September 1745, specifically naming King George in response to the Jacobite threat, it was essentially a compilation of loyal phrases set to a recast Tudor galliard. Rapidly gaining widespread popularity, it was known as the national anthem by 1819 despite its anti-Scots references (still balefully resented by some north of the border). A national anthem (also national hymn, song etc.) is a generally patriotic musical composition that evokes and eulogizes the history, traditions and struggles of its people, recognized either by a nation's government as the official national song, or by convention through use by the people. more........... http://www.answers.com/topic/national-an...

Three reasons WHY king henry was an absolute monarch?
In our history class we had to pick a king or queen during the Renaissance/Reformation time period and write an essay on WHY that leader was an absolute monarch, like what they did to display their power. I know he had six wives, and deemed himself supreme ruler of the Church of England. But was there anything else I'm missing?
