The Regency Crisis

The Regency Crisis was a political battle that was pushed in the background due to the French Revolution, about the health of King George III, who was believed to have gone insane putting the British Government and Monarchy in a major tailspin. However, this so-called crisis lasted only three months, but within that time two political parties were duking it out, George III and his son, George IV fought for the throne, and Parliament was in an all-out war to keep the country from having a civil war. Nevertheless, the Crisis became a public spectacle looking like a court battle with George III as the Defendant with William Pitt, his attorney and George IV the Plaintiff, under the guise of the Whig party to make sure they will gain power if he
They each supported England’s two monarchs: the Whigs supported the Prince of Wales while the Tories support George III, the stricken king. They feuded to see how the kingdom should rule. Despite the feud, the Whigs and Tories’ viewpoints reflected America’s two-political party views. For example, “The Whigs are the forerunners to Lincoln and the American Republican party. They opposed slavery, and kind of gave in to American Independence. They no longer exist, but they were succeeded to some degree by the liberals (liberal at that time meaning like American Libertarian, free market types). There was a Whig party in the US for a while, with a large degree of Quaker support (And Nixon was a Quaker). The Tories are those who opposed American independence, supported the monarchy... some people call the conservative party Tories. Some idiots think they are like American Republicans, but Republican is the opposite of Monarchist. Under a few people like Thatcher the Conservatives did get a "special relationship" with the USA, but their domestic policies are wacky by American standards. Conservatives, or Tories recently lowered the age of homosexual consent, banned guns, created a poll tax, and created another state run television station.” Both Parties at that time “although each group's relation to government and political power changed over time, they continued to
“In 1810, he again suffered an attack and lapsed into for 2 years; his son, the Prince of Wales, became Regent under the Regency Act of 1811. Because there were hopes that King George might recover, the Prince Regent did not replace his ministers; however, the King never rebounded sufficiently to resume the throne, and he died blind and deaf at age 81.” America’s political parties have great comparisons and differences with the Whigs and Tories. For example, “The American Republicans are the historic descendants of the Whigs and the Democrats of the Tories, although in most of the Anglophone world, the political ideologies and demarcations shifted radically in the nineteenth century, causing major discontinuities in their positions.” It would be almost 200 years before the world knew “the “Mad King” was misdiagnosed.” Nobody would know that George III was suffering from a disease called Porphyria. This disease is a “hereditary error of metabolism, is linked to the body’s production of the pigment hemoglobin, which gives color to our red blood cells and grabs oxygen molecules as blood courses through the
