	Whig
		The term Whig originates from the Exclusion Bill[?] crisis of 1678-1681 - the Whigs were those who supported the exclusion of James VII and II from the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland (the "Petitioners") and the Tories were those who opposed it (the Abhorrers).
		It was around this time that the great Whig historian Thomas Babington Macaulay began to promulgate what would later be coined the Whig view of history[?], in which all of English history was seen as leading up to the culminating moment of the passage of Lord Grey's reform bill.
		The Whig view led to serious distortions in later views of 17th century history, as Macaulay and his followers attempted to fit the complex factional politics of the Restoration into the neat categories of early 19th century political divisions.

		The True Whig Party members were not pleased with the Sawyer-Wonseley Constitution as they had the nagging fear that the democratic liberties outlined in the Constitution would allow the progressive forces to mobilise the people and win all elections.

		Initially, its ideology was heavily influenced by that of the United States Whig Party.
		The party lost power after Tubman's successor, William Tolbert, was killed in an April 1980 coup by forces opposed to his clampdown on the political opposition and tolerance of corruption.

		One of such is the Grand Old True Whig Party (TWP), which ruled Liberia for one hundred and twelve years before it met its demise on the fateful morning of Saturday, April 12, 1980.

		In 1852, when the Whig party assembled in convention at Baltimore for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the presidency, the first thing it did was to declare the compromise measures of 1850, in substance and in principle, a suitable adjustment of that question.
		It is true they did place my name, though without authority, upon the committee, and afterward wrote me to attend the meeting of the committee, but I refused to do so, and I never had anything to do with that organization.

	H-Net Review: B. J. Weinstein on Nobody's Perfect: A New Whig Interpretation of History
		Thus Patterson hopes to demonstrate that while the principled behavior of individual "whigs" was responsible for many of the legal and political freedoms that we enjoy today, each of the individuals to whom we owe these freedoms also acted inconsistently and at times gave in to unprincipled or self-interested motivations.
		In true whig fashion, Patterson's argument is made through detailed consideration of the lives and works of a handful of "great men." Chapters 1 and 2 tell the story of John Almon's heroic, deeply subversive, but fundamentally Miltonic fight against Mansfield's libel law.
		Although Patterson is convincing when arguing that "whig" reformers often acted on principle alone, she is much less successful at illustrating the historical continuity and essential similarity of "whig" principles.

		It is, however, surely true that Marxists are sustained by a belief in the inevitability of future socialism, however vague that belief may be.
