Mar 14	comment	How did the bureaucratic culture of Great Britain affect its response to the protests over the Stamp Act of 1765? It seems that the basic gist you are getting at is that Parliament was too slow to respond to the colonial crisis, and the reason it was too slow was because of the bureaucratic nature of British government. The second principle you mention seems to confuse the issue by introducing a seemingly unnecessary debate, with respect to the response, over whether it was a right or a privilege. I would focus on how the machinery of government dictated the British response.

Mar 14	comment	How did the bureaucratic culture of Great Britain affect its response to the protests over the Stamp Act of 1765? There was an underlying principle of "salutary neglect" towards the colonies: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salutary_neglect. So it wasn't that the British didn't have the "right" to enforce the Stamp Act, it was that they really hadn't enforced anything up to that point. It sounds like you would want to try and find Parliamentary sources of the response to the Stamp Act. I guess I'm not 100% sure what it is you are asking.

Mar 13	comment	Why are lower court jurists, judges, and supreme court jurists, justices? @Sid perhaps, but I really would like to know the historical reason as to why they are different.

Mar 5	comment	Life expectancy of monarchs and its relation to stability/peace @rest_day I basically am going to do a dirty study that you originally asked if it existed. Any parameters and suggestions are welcome.
Mar 5	comment	Life expectancy of monarchs and its relation to stability/peace @rest_day sure that is entirely possible, but I suspect that is not the case. later this week I will do a cursory search and try to compile a table (to add to my answer) that shows occurrence of war throughout duration of reign
Mar 5	comment	Life expectancy of monarchs and its relation to stability/peace @rest_day I get the point you are getting at, but there doesn't seem to be any reason why that should be the case. You could be a monarch for 50 years and go to war all the time if you had the resources.
Mar 3	comment	Life expectancy of monarchs and its relation to stability/peace @rest_day why do you think there would be a correlation?
