Is Declaration of Independence a noun?

Yes, the words declaration of independence alone are a noun, I believe. However, if one were to say "The United States Declaration of Independence," it would become a proper noun and therefore capitalized. I realize that to America, our Declaration of Independence is the only document of its kind and therefore is considered only a proper noun, but to other countries, it is not the same. It is a regular noun. When speaking of our document, they refer to it as the American Declaration of Independence.


Are Scottish people British?

Yes. Living In Britain makes a person British, they are also able to refer to themselves as being scottish. Scottish people most commonly refer to themselves as Scotish rather than British, I am not sure why but I believe it to be because they are distanced from the rest of Great Britain and have a long sanding bitterness towards the English.

What does un rosbif mean?

Rosbif, is a French term derived from roast beef and is actually used to describe the cooking method used, which was a popular among the British, and has since been used as a slightly derogatory term for the British, much like the British refer to the French as frogs, and Americans refer to the British as limeys. Rosbif is also used to describe the cooking of Roast Lamb and other meats eg "Rosbif de Mouton".


When did America first become known as the United States of American?

The term "America" has been used to refer to the continents or region of North and/or South America since about the 1500s (after Amerigo Vespucci, a minor Italian navigator who allegedly made two trips to the New World). For the British, then, the term "America" came to refer to their American colonies, which by 1776 were 13 in number lying along the Atlantic coast of what is now North America, along with Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. For the Spanish, Portuguese, and French, the term "America" came to refer to their respective colonies in what is now North and South America. When the 13 British colonies revolted against British rule in 1776, the Declaration of Independence made one of the first references to the "United States of America." However, the capitalization used on the header of that document is: "united States of America," implying that "united" was not yet part of the name of a country, but a mere descriptor for the way in which the 13 colonies or states were related to each other. Over the course of the American Revolution, the name "United States of America" came to refer to the 13 colonies collectively and then, under the Articles of Confederation (1781) and under the current federal constitution (as of 1787), to them as a unified federal republic.

What does English Legislature mean?

It actually is devoid of meaning because since the British Act of Union in 1707, there has not been an English Legislature. Most people use the slang term "English Legislature" to refer to the British Parliament which was adapted from the earlier English Parliament or English Legislative branch. The British Parliament is divided in two houses, an upper, appointed house called the House of Lords in which members of the British Aristocracy have membership and a lower, elected house called the House of Commons where each member belongs to a political party elected by all voting adults above the age of 18. In actuality, the House of Commons more or less functions as a unicameral legislature, with the House of Lords having little to do with the legal process. The objective of the British Parliament is to create and pass laws for the benefit of the British People.
