It's been opined many times that Anglos are "natural liberals." If so, what did 1000 AD liberalism look like?
>>18531247anglo liberalism is the demand to exploit everyone else and not be exploited in return.
Modern Britain is highly illiberal and is in fact comically authoritarian by European standards so this idea has been refuted altogether
>>18531316The modern British state is viciously hated by most of its native inhabitants
>>18531355a proud tradition.
>>18531247If we are going to by what the Kangdom of Angland in 1000 AD looked like: Slavery, Cult of saints, the Fyrd system, Shire Reeves, Earls, the Witan, Weregild, Danegeld.Really strange sort of system. Thankfully that whole 'Anglo-Libaralism' business is woke nonsense.

>>18531436>Religious tolerance was established by the Tolerance Act of 1689, however only persons who belonged to the Church of England could possess a title of nobility, hold a government office, or serve in the armed forces above the rank of NCO. Catholics did not have full civil rights until 1828, Jews not until 1888. The English penal code in the 18th century permitted the death penalty for a vast range of offences, including property crimes such as theft and frauds, although in practice it was seldom used for those. None of this applied to Ireland where freedom of the press and religion did not exist and Catholic Irish had virtually no rights at all.[2]
>>18531436This was unofficially the case in the early U.S too, except that being Unitarian was ok. It was a big movement in the first great awakening, along with the universalists (at that point they were separate things).

>>18531579it's a dog-eat-dog world you NEET pussy. you can place a negative or positive value on that fact but the fact remains.
Jurists in the American colonies early on rejected the more backward parts of English law.
>>18531247I do not know about England in 1000 AD, but this is what Tacitus had to say about the Germanic peoples of which the Anglo-Saxons are a part.>They choose their kings for their noble birth, their generals for their valour.>The kings have not unlimited or arbitrary power.>In their councils an accusation may be preferred or a capital crime prosecuted.>Half of the fine is paid to the king or to the state, half to the person whose wrongs are avenged and to his relatives.>The chiefs deliberate about smaller matters, the whole tribe about more important ones.
