	History of Ireland (1801-1922) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parnell's movement proved to be a broad church, from conservative landowners to the Land League which was campaigning for fundamental reform of Irish landholding, where most farms were rented from large aristocratic estates.
		In 1912 a further home rule bill passed the House of Commons but was defeated in the House of Lords, as had been the bill of 1893, but by this time the House of Lords had lost its power to veto legislation and could only delay the bill for two years.
		The Fourth Home Rule Act, known as the Government of Ireland Act, 1920, attempted to partition Ireland into two semi-autonomous regions: Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, with what was hoped (by nationalists) to be an embryonic all-Ireland parliament (the Council of Ireland), joining them.

		After his death, under William Shaw and in particular a radical young protestant landowner, Charles Stewart Parnell, turned the Home Rule movement, or the Irish Parliamentary Party as it became known, into a major political force, dominating Irish politics, to the exclusion of the previous Liberal, Conservative and Unionist parties that had existed.

		Parnell's movement also campaigned for 'Home Rule', by which they meant that Ireland would govern itself as a region within the United Kingdom, in contrast to O'Connell who wanted complete independence subject to a shared monarch and Crown.

	Home Rule
		Municipal home rule jurisprudence consists largely in demarcating the boundaries between those areas of local affairs and government that are within the legislative purview of cities and villages and those areas that are of statewide concern and, therefore, subject to control by the legislature.
		The home rule amendment limits legislative authority in the area of local affairs and government, but it does not limit legislative authority in allowing cities and villages to regulate matters of statewide concern.
		An exception to this rule is that the legislature may enact legislation relating to a public policy area that is under a city’s or village’s home rule authority if the enactment uniformly applies to every city or village in the state.

	1912-14 Anti-Home Rule Poster Stamps
		Notes: The "Home Rule" movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries sought to bring Ireland a measure of political autonomy through constitutional means.
		Politically, the most significant weakness of the various Home Rule schemes was their failure to address the specific interests of Protestant northeast Ulster, and it was from this quarter that the most strenuous opposition to Home Rule came in 1912.
		Carson was convinced that only drastic measures could prevent Home Rule; he did his best to obstruct the bill in the Commons, and with James Craig raised an 80,000 man force called the Ulster Volunteers to resist the measure forcibly if and when it was enacted.

	Ulster Society - Prelude to Home Rule
		The movement in favour of independent government gained momentum as the century progressed and became increasingly aligned with the Roman Catholic Church, especially following the granting of Catholic Emancipation in 1829 and the expanding power of the Church from 1850.
		Thus it was that questions of religious persuasion and economic standing came to be superimposed on the whole constitutional issue and increased the divide between the largely Roman Catholic and agrarian South and the predominantly Protestant and industrial North.
		In the 1870s and 1880s the extravagant language of the Home Rule movement gave rise to increased violence, thus Ulster had a glimpse of the reality of a future Dublin Parliament.

		In its defense, Boulder maintained that it passed the emergency ordinance pursuant to home rule powers granted by the Colorado State Constitution and that, in regulating cable television, it therefore was acting as the state in local matters.
		The explanation for the Court's ruling in Boulder presumably lies in its historic concern for protection of the statutory policy favoring competition embodied in the antitrust laws.
		The home rule movement is in many respects an embodiment of that precept.
