 | | This demand led to the eventual introduction of four Irish Home Rule Bills, of which only the last two were approved by the British Parliament, and only the final one was enacted: the Government of Ireland Act 1920. | | | 1912: Third Irish Home Rule Act passed (as the Government of Ireland Act 1914) but never came into force, due to the intervention of World War I (1914–18) and of the Easter Rising in Dublin (1916). | | | This Act created the parliaments of Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland — although the latter did not in reality function and most of Ireland became the Irish Free State in 1922 after the Anglo-Irish Treaty. |

| | Home Rule Charter for Allegheny County |
| | The basic concept of home rule is relatively simple: the authority to act in local affairs is transferred from state law to a local charter, adopted and, as need be amended, by the voters through referendum. | | | The voters approved the charter and the Allegheny County electorate chose a County Executive and County Council in November 1999. | | | Allegheny County sought and was granted this option for adopting its home rule charter because a previous effort had already provided the required study of the county’s government mandated by Act 62. |

| | Importantly, the home rule amendment does not prohibit the legislature from delegating to cities and villages authority over public policy matters that are of statewide concern. | | | In Ekern, the court found that a state law limiting the height of buildings in first class cities to 125 feet was a local affair under the home rule constitutional amendment and, as a result, the city of Milwaukee could exempt itself from that state law by adopting a charter ordinance to that effect. | | | Although case law provides that the home rule constitutional amendment be given liberal construction in matters of local affairs, as can be seen in City of Madison v. |

| | With the birth of the republic, the municipality became the county and the urban regions began to be incorporated, first by the Texas Congress and, after 1845, by the state legislature. | | | The charter may not contain any provision that is inconsistent with the state constitution or statutes, a restriction that still leaves these cities with more "home rule" than the cities of any other state in the nation, according to a report by the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, a federal research body. | | | The charter granted by the Congress in 1837 to San Augustine, however, provided that the board of aldermen could pass any ordinance for the benefit of its inhabitants as long as it did not conflict with the laws or constitution of the Republic. |

| | Home Rule effectively started in Ireland in 1870 but in British politics, Gladstone was converted to it in the 1880's. | | | The leader of the Irish Nationalist Party, John Redmond, had stated quite clearly in 1910 that it was the Lord’s veto alone that came between Ireland and a successful Home Rule bill. | | | By 1911, the Unionists were led by Arthur Bonar Law who was against Home Rule. |

| | The Government of Ireland Act 1914, more generally known as the Third Home Rule Act (or Bill) or the (Irish) Home Rule Act 1914, was an Act of Parliament passed by the British House of Commons in May 1914 which sought to give Ireland internal self-government within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. | | | New British prime minister David Lloyd George responded by replacing the never-implemented Home Rule Act 1914 by a new (and final) law, the Government of Ireland Act 1920, which partitioned Ireland into Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, each with a bicameral legislature and an executive presided over by a shared royal representative, the Lord Lieutenant. | | | It was never implemented and was eventually replaced by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, granting in the first place, Home Rule to Northern Ireland. |
