  2. A Flag Thread

    This is a good looking flag!:D
  3. No Marshall Plan

    What reasons might there be for the United States not putting together a Marshall Plan? Also, without a Marshall Plan, might the US itself have slipped back into the Depression?
  4. Names for a British-American Reunification Nation

    How about the Lexington Ensign, or something similar, as the flag of the Commonwealth?
  5. Names for a British-American Reunification Nation

    Neither have any direct powers over the other state. They have only power over those things which both states have made, deliberately, Commonwealth property or powers associated with the Commonwealth itself. Such as, all Commonwealth armed forces would be under the joint command of the Heads of...
  6. The Great British Republic Challenge

    True, but if a Presbyterian majority is elected to Parliament, and Cromwell stays on only to see this Parliament empowered, the Protectorate could wither away, peacefully, and die.:D
  7. Names for a British-American Reunification Nation

    Yes, a loose confederation. Otherwise either American republicanism would be compromised, or England's monarchy. And I doubt either would approve of such a political union. Confederation is the only answer, IMHO.
  8. The Great British Republic Challenge

    Richard Cromwell doesn't resign and manages to get a Presbyterian majority in Parliament. It's just the Commonwealth of England, after all.

    Name: The Anglo-American Commonwealth State Type: A confederation between the federal USA and the unitary UK and which retains each member its full sovereignty. Government Type: Representative with universal male suffrage (initially) and universal adult suffrage (eventually) Head of State...
  10. No Marshall Plan

    I'm not completely sure this would be the case. I suspect a lot of countries would have elected Socialist-Communist coalition gov'ts, and would have implemented some large scale economic-planning and public ownership schemes, but I doubt too many would have become Marxist-Leninist "People's...

    It was until the Reformation (which proved submission to Thande was not necessary to achieve Enlightenment).
  16. Map Thread III

    Very cool map, Highlander!:)
  17. Marriage of Socialism and Democracy

    Even with the so-called socialist states which are or were, this statement is still not true. And it is most glaringly false in the case of Yugoslavia, where the central government was considerably weaker than in many states, "socialist" or not. There were individual rights in property; 33% of...
  18. Marriage of Socialism and Democracy

    You did not participate in the formulation of the Constitution. And unless you were a judge, you never participated in the "life" of common law. Further common law is peculiar thing, being that it molds the rule of law, and establishes the rule of judges. It is literally arbitrary. "[T]he law of...
  19. Marriage of Socialism and Democracy

    In the same way that in an absolute monarchy, state power comes from this god or that. It's a rhetorical device. Even so, look at the Constitution again, and you will see that your claim isn't accurate constitutionally. "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect...
