	Nepal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1765 the Gorkha ruler Prithvi Narayan Shah set out to unify the kingdoms, after first seeking arms and aid from India and buying the neutrality of bordering Indian kingdoms.
		Faced with a people's movement against the absolute monarchy, King Birendra, in 1990, agreed to large-scale political reforms by creating a parliamentary monarchy with the king as the head of state and a prime minister as the head of the government.
		Nepalese from various walks of life and the international community regarded the MOU as an appropriate political response to the crisis that was developing in Nepal.

	Schudson
		Some of the nation's founders supported outspoken political criticism so long as they were fighting a monarchy for their independence but held that open critique of a duly elected republican government could be legitimately curtailed.
		With such intimate political involvement from leading lights of the journalism establishment, it is difficult to accept journalists' claims of political innocenceeven the claims of journalists, like Washington Post editor Leonard Downie, who forswear voting for fear it could taint their scrupulous neutrality.
		Since nearly everyone today acknowledges that the organized political party has been a boon to democratic government, journalism that is divorced from parties and asserts a professional distrust of partisanship may help undermine one of the basic institutions of democracy.

	John Horne Tooke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For a few months he was usher at a boarding school at Blackheath, but on September 26 1760 he became perpetual curate of New Brentford, the incumbency of which his father had purchased for him, and he retained this poor living until 1773.
		During a part of this time (1763-1764) he was absent on a tour in France, acting as a bear-leader to a wealthy man. The excitement created by the actions of John Wilkes led Horne into politics, and in 1765 he brought out a scathing pamphlet on Bute and Mansfield, entitled "The Petition of an Englishman".
		On July 1, 1771 Horne obtained at Cambridge, though not without some opposition from members of both the political parties, his degree of M.A. Earlier in that year he claimed for the public the right of printing an account of parliamentary debates, and after a long struggle, the right was definitely established.

		Limited, those social and political elements could not become the seeds around which would crystallize the power of “faction” or party to conspire against the commonwealth.
		In 1832, Illinois pro-Jackson partyists argued that the political crisis demanded a revival of district conventions and defended the national Democratic convention.
		His emphasis on anti-party ideology should be compared with concurrent eighteenth-century legacies, such as the perceived conspiratorial threats against the fused elements of liberty and equality—threats that heated the dialogue over slavery and expansion, and have been dissected by Michael A. Morrison (1997).

		Well, in truth, he barely nudges out the great political scientist, Machiavelli; but both gave us deep insights into the world of politics.
		De Gaulle though, gave what seems like the best definition of a politician when he said: "In order to become the master, the politician poses as a servant." (He also wrote in a letter, the great line: "Politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians").
		Politics sucks today because it is, for most folks, a burden -- and a lie.

		I’m sure it isn’t news to anyone in this audience that the electorate and the country are evenly divided politically and that we face a critical, historic moment in American democracy as we prepare for the 2004 presidential election.

	Russian Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The increasing religious and political conservativism that marked Tsar Alexander's later years imposed onerous restrictions on the dissemination of philosophy both in the classroom and in print.
		The specifics of the controversy, which raged until 1929, are of marginal philosophical importance now, but to some degree the basic issue of the relation of philosophy to the sciences, of the role of the former vis-a-vis the latter, endures to this day.
		Regrettably, politics played as much of a role in the course of the dispute as abstract reasoning, and the outcome was a simple matter of a political fiat with the Deborinists gaining a temporary victory.

		Northerners opposed representation for slavery because it would give the South a political advantage; Virginians opposed the slave trade, at least in part, because it would undermine the value of their excess slaves.
		Thomas Jefferson's victory in the election of 1800, and Madison's elevation to the position of secretary of state and heir apparent, would be possible only because of the electoral votes the southern states gained on account of their slaves.
		Many northerners believed the outcome of the 1812 election would have been different had it not been for the three-fifths clause, although this is probably not the case.
