	British republican movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British republican movement is a movement in the United Kingdom which seeks to remove the British monarchy and replace it with a republic that has a head of state that is not inherited, most likely called a president.
		Most, but not all republicans support a fully elected second chamber, and a written constitution, and favour removing the remaining hereditary peers in the House of Lords and all forms of hereditary privilege.
		Objections to the monarchy are often based on what republicans believe is the anachronistic system of choosing a head of state by birth, rather than merit or election, which republicans view as being in conflict with democracy.

		The British republican movement is a movement in the United Kingdom which seeks to remove the British monarchy and replace it with a republic with an elected head of state.
		In England a republicanism evolved that was not wholly opposed to monarchy, but rather thinkers such as Thomas_More and John_Milton saw an monarchy firmly constrained by law as compatible with republicanism.
		These Polish republicans such as Lukasz_Gornicki, Andrzej_Wolan, and Stanislaw_Konarski were well read in classical and Renaissance texts and firmly believed that their state was a Republic on the Roman model and called their state the Rzeczpospolita.

		The British monarch or Sovereign is the monarch and head of state of the United Kingdom and its overseas territories, and is the source of all executive, judicial and (as the Queen-in-Parliament) legislative power.
		Succession to the British throne is restricted by the Act of Settlement to Protestant descendants of Sophia, Electress of Hanover, with male heirs having precedence over females, and those who have married a Roman Catholic excluded, though there have been moves to amend these restrictions in recent years.
		A "ten minute rule" bill to overturn this restriction was introduced in the British House of Commons by Labour MP Kevin McNamara in 2001, and won a symbolic victory when forced to a vote, but did not become law.

		It was the change of attitude of the British government perceived on the ground or acted on the ground by the British Army, and particularly the siege of the Lower Falls.

		Meanwhile, British insistence on no movement without decommissioning (which now replaced a demand for an assurance that the ceasefire was permanent as the sticking point) began to exasperate not just the republican leadership and the IRA, but the nationalist people as a whole.
		Republicans were rapidly coming to the conclusion that the political process at that time offered no potential to end the conflict – with a weak Tory government in London and Bruton at the helm in Dublin.
		Adams however had his finger on the pulse of the republican community and understood perhaps better than anyone that the cessation could not hold without movement by the British government at least on the core issues of equality, justice and human rights.
