The British Empire influenced a lot of countries. Even parts of the world never
included in
the British Empire have adopted the British system of parliamentary government, often
referred to as the Westminster model. Originally a vehicle for
royal authority, this system
gradually evolved into a representative government and finally became a means through
which democracy could be exercised. Today legislative power comes from the lower house
of
Parliament, known as the House of Commons. The freely elected members of the House
of Commons select the nation’s chief executive, the prime minister. He or she in turn
appoints members of the House
of Commons to the Cabinet, a body of advisers. Because the
executive is not separated from the legislature, the government is efficient as well as
responsive to the electorate. Britain was a pioneer in economic matters. The first industrial
revolution occurred in Britain in the 18th and early 19th centuries
and led to the
development of the world’s first society dominated by a middle class. Britain was the first
nation to have more than half of its population living in urban areas. Rapid economic
development and worldwide trade made Britain the richest nation
in the world during the
reign of Queen Victoria in the 19th century. For a long time before and after the Industrial
Revolution, London was
the center of world capitalism, and today is still one of the world’s
most important business and financial centres.
