War, Britain was still a constitutional monarchy, in so far that this form of government consisted in a balance between the monarch and the parliament. This “mixed” government had the advantage to respect the idea of democracy (rule of the people, for the people, by the people”) through the elections but meanwhile to prevent tyranny while enabling effectiveness. “It is by this mixture of monarchical, aristocratical and democratical power, blended together in one system, and by these three estates

that shakes the Barely is more recent. It was directed by Ken Loach and got the golden palm at the festival of Cannes in 2006. It is the story of an irish village in the 10’ and 20’.
