	United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (usually shortened to the United Kingdom or the UK) is a country (or more specifically a constitutional monarchy or unitary state) off the north-western coast of continental Europe, surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.
		The United Kingdom was formed by the union of the Kingdom of England (which included the principality of Wales) with the Kingdom of Scotland and later the Kingdom of Ireland to form a single state.
		Also sometimes associated with the United Kingdom, though not constitutionally part of the United Kingdom itself, are the Crown dependencies (the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, and the Isle of Man) as self-governing possessions of the Crown, and a number of overseas territories under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom.

	[No title]
		In a modern constitutional Monarchy, the tyrants are generally the politicians elected by the people, and the bureaucratic class who actually run the nation; these are of course unimpeachable, and must simply be obeyed.
		Constitutional monarchy may have a special role to play when a police state collapses, and the new state has to be formed in a void where political legitimacy is missing.
		Modern constitutional monarchies usually implement the concept of trias politica, or "separation of powers", where the monarch either is the head of the executive branch or simply has a ceremonial role.

	Review K. L. Noll, Canaan and Israel in Antiquity: An Introduction
		Noll cuts through the polemics and even-handedly presents the case for a United Monarchy and the case against it.
		He places the burden of the argument on those who embrace a large regional monarchy; they must convince others that the thesis of a United Monarchy makes better sense than the null hypothesis that the larger Iron II states (Israel first, then Judah) emerged gradually from the decentralized political units of the Iron I period.
		The case for the United Monarchy is not strong, and the thesis is unnecessary to understand the history of the region.

	Hebrew University excavations strengthen dating of archaeological findings to David, Solomon
		A new, laboratory-based affirmation of the existence of a united Israelite monarchy headed by kings David and Solomon in the 10th century B.C.E. has been revealed as the result of excavations carried out by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Institute of Archeology.
		However, during the last decade various scholars criticized this view and claim that the United Monarchy of David and Solomon should be dismissed as a real historical period of any value in the history of Israel.
		Thus, these results provide a new foundation for the traditional view concerning the attribution of occupation strata and buildings at Tel Rehov (and conjunctively other locales in the region) to the time of the United Monarchy of Solomon and David, and negates the view that all these finds should be dated to the 9th century.

		The groundwork of the Torah literature may thus be supposed to have crystallized under the united monarchy.

		Sanctuaries from the tenth century, the period of the United Monarchy, display an increasing degree of uniformity, as reflected in their architecture, in the cultic artifacts they contained, and in the choice of locations.
		Except for the Jerusalem Temple, most United Monarchy sanctuaries were in villages or towns, often in peripheral locations where ethnically divergent populations may have required special attention to draw them into the Israelite nation.
		During the United Monarchy, then, the bamah sanctuary of the period of the Judges was innovatively reformulated into an institution of social and religious control, a means of forging national unification from the disparate elements of the Israelite tribal coalition and the local conquered populations.

		One of the most fiercely debated issues in Biblical Archaeology today involves the historicity of the Bible and biblical chronology in the period of the United Monarchy in Jerusalem.
		Most of the evidence for this period of David and Solomon is found in the Bible, and there is a decided lack of archaeological evidence to correlate the biblical narrative.
		These correlations fall after the United Monarchy, but both suggest a continuity with institutions of Kingship and the office of the court scribe.
