	The 1820 Insurrection
		We drew a direct parallel between the combination of the Calton weavers in Glasgow in 1787 and the Caterpillar workers who were being driven out of their jobs in 1987.
		So, it is little wonder that Scottish children in an age when the teaching of history of any sort is increasingly under furtive or even overt attack, should have no knowledge of Hardie, Baird and Wilson, or their work.
		They have carelessly ignored the fact that the men of 1820 were merely the cast in one act of a longer drama; and the Rising was a sequel to the reform movements of earlier generations just as it in turn was to lead on to the Chartist movement in the 1830s and 1840s.

	John Stuart Mill
		At the age of eight he began Latin, Euclid, and algebra, and was appointed schoolmaster to the younger children of the family.
		He was not taught to compose either in Latin or in Greek, and he was never an exact scholar; it was for the subject matter that he was required to read, and by the age of ten he could read Plato and Demosthenes with ease.
		It was characteristic of the closeness with which he watched current events, and of his zeal in the cause of "lucidity", that when the Reader, an organ of science and unpartisan opinion, fell into difficulties in 1865 Mill joined with some distinguished men of science and letters in an effort to keep it afloat.

		After the Union the Scottish universities lost their representatives in the new Parliament of Great Britain at Westminster.

		His main reading was still history, but he went through all the Latin and Greek authors commonly read in the schools and universities and, by the age of 10 could read Plato and the Athenian statesman Demosthenes with ease.
		It has been remarked how Mill combined enthusiasm for democratic government with pessimism as to what democracy was likely to do; practically every discussion in these books exemplifies this.
		Mill's subscription to the election expenses of the freethinker and radical politician Charles Bradlaugh and his attack on the conduct of Gov. E.J. Eyre in Jamaica were perhaps the main causes of his defeat in the general parliamentary election of 1868.

		In fact, it has a remarkable Scottish legacy that, at the beginning of the twentieth century, brought together two of the most interesting and prodigiously successful men in the history of English language publishing: John Buchan (1875-1940) and Thomas Nelson (1874-1917).
		Perhaps more ominously, critics also argue that because the Constitution allows electors to use their discretion, there is a possibility of a "faithless" elector not casting his vote for the people's choice but for his own preference.
		Because minority groups are often concentrated in some states and not spread evenly throughout the country, their influence is protected to a greater degree in a federal system.
