Home rule movement

A return of bad harvests in 1879 brought new fears of famine. That same year, John Devoy, a leading member of Clan na Gael, an effective American Fenian organization, and Patrick Ford, whose The Irish World preached militant republicanism and hatred of Parnell’s success was not achieved without serious difficulties, including the ultimate proscription of the Land League by the government and the imprisonment of its leaders. As a result, Parnell used his parliamentary party, then increased to 86 seats, to overthrow Gladstone’s Liberal government. But the disclosure of Gladstone’s conversion to

The Home Rule Movement The agricultural depression of the late 1870s interrupted the rise in prosperity, and the resulting agrarian discontent was harnessed to emerging nationalist aspirations by Charles Stewart Parnell. Under Parnell's leadership an Irish nationalist party, demanding home rule - a separate Irish parliament within the Union--and land reform, was able to win every parliamentary seat having a Catholic majority. This solid bloc of votes gave Parnell and his successor, John Redmond, powerful leverage in British politics whenever neither British party had a clear majority in the House of Commons. By exploiting such a situation in 1910-14, the Irish party finally forced the enactment of a Home Rule Bill--but it also evoked the Ulster Covenant, by which northern Protestants vowed to resist home rule by force. Paramilitary forces were being organized by both sides, and civil war seemed imminent when World War I intervened. Home rule was enacted in 1914 but suspended until the end of the war, when it was understood that Ulster would receive some special treatment. From the 1890s, nationalism found expression in an Irish Literary Renaissance.

Also referred to as local control, community autonomy, and self-governance, home rule is the principle that local governments in the American federal system should possess a high degree of discretionary authority in serving their communities. The contrast is with strong state government control over community public affairs. Legally, there is no inherent right of self-governance for American communities, because of the constitutional status of local governments as creatures of their states. To the degree that it exists, home rule is a result of politics, voter preferences, ideology, administrative convenience, and the willingness of state governments to delegate specific powers or allow broad authority to their local governments. The home rule movement, associated with Progressive reform in American government, originated in the later half of the nineteenth century as a response to the corruption and inefficiency involved in excessive state interference in municipal affairs. How much authority to allow local governments since that time has been the central issue in state-local relationships, marked by ongoing debate on such issues as state mandates and flexible revenue sources. Home rule is implemented by state constitutions and legislatures in several ways—granting municipalities (and counties, to a lesser extent) the ability to adopt their own charters with variable governmental frameworks, prohibitions on “special legislation” that applies only to single communities, ge...
