As the Parliamentary system
developed in the 19th century the role of Prime Minister became
a recognized, functional position. This period saw a few
outstanding leaders shape and define what it meant to be Prime
Minister. Britain reach the heights of Empire under these men as
they ruled 1/4 of the globe with the benevolent approval of
Queen Victoria. Not since Roman times had the world seen such an
empire and never had it experienced such a stable progressive
government. Gladstone, Disraeli, Wellesley and Peel - all were
wielders of Empire |
