Fourth of July Facts - Part 2
- Every revolution worth its salt has a flag for its supporters to display. A person with an expert knowledge of flags is called a Vexillologist. It doesn't make much sense until you think about revolutions. After all, vex means to agitate and you must admit a rebel flag will do that to the powers that be.
- In 1581, the Dutch provinces within the Union of Utrecht declared their Independence from Spain. Political dissatisfaction combined with growing Protestant support caused the movement, although this battle for Independence lasted decades and was not won easily.
- Bernardo O?Higgins was a famous revolutionary leader for Chile. He was a Chilean revolutionary leader and in fact declared Chile independent of Spain in 1818, although somewhat prematurely as the last Spanish forces were not expelled until 1826. He was named director general but his rule did not outlast the Spanish as he was ousted by popular opinion in 1823.

Fourth of July Trivia Quiz 4
The Origins of Political Order
From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution
Political theorist Fukuyama presents nothing less than a unified theory of state formation, a comparative study of how tribally organized societies in various parts of the world and various moments in history have transformed into societies with political systems and institutions and, in some cases, political accountability. Drawing upon a diverse range of sources-sociobiology and anthropology as well as macroeconomics and legal history-and paying particular attention to political development in Asia, Fukuyama describes a somewhat evolutionary mechanism wherein political systems develop in response to certain societal conditions and become institutionalized because of, among other things, their ability to adapt.
