Thirty-six barrels of powder, Jack

One little match and they'll never be back-

It depends highly on which point of view you see it from.

On the one hand, people began to see that they had more power to control the government with force, which in turn lead to an influx of protests/riots when the people didn't like the decision of government, whereas previously they were more quiet/accepting of the government.

From the governments perfective however it showed that they should be more wary of the people and that they actually had a lot more power than they thought. The royal argument for this would've increased the laws regarding treason- making harsher punishments than previous.

Basically,, In 1605 Guy Fawkes set up a huge plot with many other people (go on www.guyfawkesplot.co.uk/peopleintheplan to find out who) and they set up a fire. Guy Fawkes WAS the leader unlike what people say about his team mate. Guy Fawkes wasn't actually called Guy Fawkes. His real name was Gary Hawkes but they called him Guy Fawkes because of 'TheGreatSignature'. The Great Signature was a piece of paper which was signed by Fawkes but got torn. It said... G y awkes. So people made his name Guy Fawkes. This was in 1601. Guy Fawkes set up the plot. Does this help? Hope so... :)

Because this is how we remember Guy Fawkes failed attempt to blow up the houses of Parliament.

On the evening of 5th November each year as tradition, many people set of fireworks and light bonfires in celebration of Guy Fawkes and his plot to blow up parliament and King James in 1605. An effigy of Guy Fawkes is placed on top of the bonfire to burn as a symbol of his failure.

there is more than 1 person to blame for the gunpowder plot dependimg on your views of the historical event. ffor example some people believe that king James 1 was to blame because of the laws he past, others believe that Robert Catesby was to blame because he was thew one that came up with the idea and was the one that got all of the other 12 catholic people in on it aswell

Guy Fawkes ... The Gun Powder Plot To Blow Up The Queens Thing

1605

sort of... he was a trusted servent of James I and he was the person who tried to stop it from happening. But then it is thought that he was behind the plot and he was the one who wrote the letter to Lord Monteagle. The reason behind this is that he hated Catholics and he wanted to get rid of them.

Nobody knows wheather he was or not, but evidence shows us that he could have been working as the King's incider but the plot in itself at home!

Remember, remember,

the Fifth of November

And keep memories alive,

Of Sixteen-Oh-Five.

they wanted a Catholic monarch on the throne they wanted a Catholic monarch on the throne

Robert Catesby, Guy Fawkes, Sir Everard Digby, and Sir Ambrose Rookwood.

Catholics were raped in the streets for about a year. afterwards, laws were brought in to give them more respect and only the youngest daughters of strong catholics could be raped.

After a letter was sent to Lord Monteagle, not to attend the State opening. Guy Fawkes was left in the cellar to light the explosives after they were ready. Guards were searching around after the letter had come. The guards found Guy Fawkes in the cellar after a last check. Guy Fawkes was tortured for the names of the other plotters. Some were found and shot as some were found and were hung with Guy Fawkes.

I believe that seen as religion was taken very seriously during 1605 i believe that the King would be harsh on other catholics. King James would also not trust any catholics and treat them like they were a low class.

The Gunpowder Plot was intended to blow up the English "House of Lords" while the King was conducting the state opening. This would have killed or injured the King, most of his Ministers and the Members of both houses. This would effectively have destroyed the government of England, and left Scotland without a king and several important figures in attendance at the English Parliament.

The resulting chaos throughout Britain would have permitted a Catholic Rising to replace James with his Daughter and possibly reverse or alter the Reformation in favour of the Catholics. However the plot was not particularly well organised and probably wouldn't have got that far even if the gunpowder had gone off.

The gunpowder plot was discovered when a member of Guy Fawkes' gang wrote a letter to one of his friends that was going to be in parliament on the day of the plot, telling him to stay away from there and why. The friend showed the letter to parliament, and they then sent guards to search the houses. In one of the cellars they found Guy Fawkes, ready to light the fuse.

There was conflict between the catholics and the king.The Catholics wanted to blow up the Houses of Parliament while the King was there holding an important meeting. They hired Guy Fawkes! Unfortunately one of the MP's had been warned about the explosion and he alerted everyone. Guards were sent to look for the gun powder and they found Guy Fawkes with it!!! He was tortured horribly until he confessed. People wonder who it was sho told the MP the plan!!

hope it helps...jessxxx

500000000 millon

General shock, sympathy to James I and popular support for commemorations of the plot such as sermons and November 5th

We will never know...

Well you have to consider all facts . Because James I was scottish and wanted people to like him so he could of set the whole thing up but as the person above said we will never know :)

LOL

There are lots of reasons to believe that the gunpowder plot was set up and lots to believe it was a genuine plot. read the book 'the making of the UK 1500-1750' it has quite alot of information and sources on page 56-59.

The House of Lords (the "Upper" House of the British Parliament which has the important role of reviewing Bills prior to enactment as Acts of Parliament) has not been abolished, but it has been significantly reformed to exclude hereditary peers from most of its serious political work.

Hereditary peers (ie those who hold inherited titles - baronet, lord etc) no longer have automatic right of attendance at debates (fewer than 100 now attend/ vote etc); the vast majority of politically active lords are "Life Peers", that is people who've been awarded titles for life only (no one inherits these - the title dies with the holder); usually in recognition of long & distinguished service in public life (eg former Prime Ministers, & many former Cabinet Ministers), the military/ police, business & industry, or science & medicine.

Senior Bishops ("Lords Spiritual") continue to sit in the House of Lords.

The "Law Lords" (ie the most senior judges in the UK) no longer sit in the House of Lords: there is now a "Supreme Court" located elsewhere in Westminster where they exercise their role as ultimate arbiters of constitutional matters & highest appeal court in Britain.

the plotters were catholic
