Both nations were born as British colonies and used violent and non-violent means to agitate for democratic freedoms. Republicanism and Responsible Government explores how these sister colonies transformed the very nature of the British Empire by insisting on democratic self-rule. 520 $a Focusing on the middle of the nineteenth century, Benjamin Jones explores key points in colonial Australian and Canadian history - Canada's Rebellions of 1837-38 and the Durham Report, and Australia's anti-transportation movement and the Eureka Stockade. Previously, historians have looked to liberalism when explaining radicalism and democratization. Jones, however, contends that Canadian and Australian radicals and reformers were influenced by the ancient political philosophy of civic republicanism, with its focus on collectivism, civic duty, and virtue. William Lyon Mackenzie and John Dunmore Lang, he argues, did not champion republicanism to achieve individual rights but to create a virtuous society free from the corruption they saw in the status quo. 651 0 $a Canada $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Australia $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Republicanism $z Canada $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Republicanism $z Australia $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Canada $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Australia $x History $y 19th century. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 776 1 $a Jones, Benjamin T., 1982-, author. $t Republicanism and responsible government. $w (CaOONL)20149012993. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180111015109.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150609013146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0671A1FC0E6D11E5BFCEA8CCDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
