July Revolution - July Revolution This is a duplicate article and should be merged with French Revolution of 1830 The July Revolution of July 1830, in the context of the history of France ushered in the July Monarchy of King Louis-Philippe by overthrowing the reactionary monarchical regime of Charles X. Charles X, who ascended to the French throne on September 16, 1824, soon exhausted his popularity. While the opposition became conservative as regards the Constitutional Charter of 1814 and French liberties, the king and the clerical party surrounding him challenged the spirit of modern France by a law against sacrilege, by a bill for re-establishing the right of primogeniture, by an indemnity of a milliard francs, which looked like compensation given to the émigrés, and finally by the loi.

Katharine Lee Bates - first draft of America the Beautiful was hastily jotted in a notebook during the summer of 1893, which Miss Bates spent teaching in Colorado. Later she remembered, "One day some of the other teachers and I decided to go on a trip to 14,000-foot Pikes Peak. We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired. But when I saw the view, I felt great joy. All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse." The words to her one famous poem first appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal, for Independence Day, July 4, 1895. The poem reached a wider audience when her revised version was printed in.

Ken Livingstone - the voter turnout was far smaller than Livingstone had hoped for. On December 15 1984, the House of Commons passed the Local Government Act of 1985 by a relatively slim twenty-three vote margin. The GLC was formally abolished at midnight on March 31 1986. Livingstone in Parliament Livingstone again stood for Parliament in the 1987 general election, winning a seat in the Northwest London constituency of Brent East. As a mere Labour backbencher, Livingstone lost the public platform he possessed as head of the GLC; furthermore, his brand of radical socialism was increasingly out of step with the Labour leadership, which had moved sharply towards the centre under the chairmanship of Neil Kinnock and now blamed leftists like Livingstone for Labour's "unelectability." Nevertheless, he was elected to the party's National Executive.
