we are still mucking about with kings actually. I am actually regularly in 5 of the countries around here that are still 'mucking about with kings' can you name a few without having to use the internet? :)
That is why I can't find out which year you actually are talking about?
In Holland we started being a republic in 1581, and true we got our constitution only in 1814. The funny thing is however that we also update it once in a while.
This is getting off topic, but hey its slow at work.
Quote:The Danish liberal and national movement gained momentum in the 1830s, and after the European Revolutions of 1848 Denmark peacefully became a constitutional monarchy on 5 June 1849.
The US constitution was approved in 1788 and last amended in 1991.
You should expect to pay a price for civil disobedience. If something is very wrong with society, fight like hell to change it. They will salute your sacrifice later. On the other hand, if you are a spastic crackpot media whore, you deserve what you have coming. It's offensive to compare civil rights pioneers, who frequently gave their lives for their cause, to this moron getting tased.
