Also isnt a title like lord given? How do you vote that shit?
Lords was a mistake.
You don't, that's the problem
There's an entire house of the UK government that is predominantly unaccountable
Senate used to be by appointment of the state
But making it elected wouldn't be any better
I know. But how do they propose to vote that?
From the state legislatures no less
much superior method
and confirmed by the governor?
Yes
Well actually reverse
Governor appointed. State legeslature approved
ah ok had it backward
Like a cabinet position
Still superior
it makes sense
The idea of the House of Lords is good - experts in their field appointed to provide their expertise
Partly why states still have govs appoint the replacements
almost like it was a system of checks and balances...
Even if its via title the house of lords represent the landowners (states of uk)
Not in the slightest
You have to remember back when it was made
Lords were the landowners
It changed sense then
When they were made yes, certainly
But it's so outdated now
So in essence that was what our senate and house were
That makes sense
Senate were the lords (state representation)
House of reps the house of commons(?)
To think, if we'd just given you guys a devolved parliament we'd have avoided the messes we're both in
Commons is a joke too
Ehhhhh
We had our independence streak right from the get go
I know - I was being facetious haha
Yea it would have happened anyways
Maximize Liberty
Minimize Authority

Taxes were such a small part of it
Americans were more against the soldier lodging and other repressions. Tea tax was a minor part
Ironically right after the revolutioj tea was the only thing taxed
