| | Act of Union, 1800 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The 1800 Act of Union merged the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain (itself a merger of England and Scotland under the Act of Union 1707) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on 1 January 1801. | | | The Act was passed by both the British and Irish parliaments. | | | Part of the attraction of the Union for many Irish Catholics was the promise of Catholic Emancipation, thereby allowing Roman Catholic MPs (which had not been allowed in the Irish Parliament). |

| | This is result of current federal law, which largely exempts unions from responsibility for violent behavior. | | | Former Attorney General Edwin Meese testified at recent hearings that due to the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Enmons, unions enjoy an exemption that "permits union officials -- alone among corporate or associational officers in the United States -- to use violence and threats of violence to life and property to achieve their goals." | | | The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), has held hearings on his bill to curb union violence, the Freedom from Union Violence Act of 1997, but analysts say there isn't much hope of a committee vote on the bill. |
