From The Declaration of Arbroath

Key Points: 
  • From The Declaration of Arbroath
    As long as a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be subjected to the lordship of the English.
  • From The Declaration of Arbroath Medieval Scotland’s most iconic document, the Declaration of Arbroath, recently went on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh for the first time in 18 years.
  • Conservative MSP Murdo Fraser claimed a few years ago that Scots who opposed independence should celebrate the Declaration of Arbroath.
  • For Cherry, this statement of popular sovereignty means the Declaration of Arbroath is incompatible with the “peculiarly English doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty”.

Why the declaration really matters

    • Both unionist and nationalist views of the declaration tell us very little about the declaration itself.
    • The Declaration of Arbroath was not a law or a treaty but a letter to the pope.
    • A few months after the declaration was sent to the pope, several individuals were executed or imprisoned for conspiracy to assassinate the king.
    • The declaration really gives us an insight into the development of written agreements to ensure loyalty and support.
    • It is only when considered in their immediate historical context that documents like the Declaration of Arbroath, can be understood.

The words nationalism and patriotism are sometimes used as synonyms, such as when Trump and his supporters describe his America First agenda.

Key Points: 
  • The words nationalism and patriotism are sometimes used as synonyms, such as when Trump and his supporters describe his America First agenda.
  • But many political scientists, including me, don’t typically see those two terms as equivalent – or even compatible.
  • There is a difference, and it’s important, not just to scholars but to regular citizens as well.

Devotion to a people

    • A nation is a group of people who share a history, culture, language, religion or some combination thereof.
    • A country, which is sometimes called a state in political science terminology, is an area of land that has its own government.
    • A nation-state is a homogeneous political entity mostly comprising a single nation.
    • Some of those groups are formally recognized by the federal government, such as the Navajo Nation and the Cherokee Nation.
    • Scholars understand nationalism as exclusive, boosting one identity group over – and at times in direct opposition to – others.

Devotion to a place

    • In contrast to nationalism’s loyalty for or devotion to one’s nation, patriotism is, per the same dictionary, “love for or devotion to one’s country.” It comes from the word patriot, which itself can be traced back to the Greek word patrios, which means “of one’s father.” In other words, patriotism has historically meant a love for and devotion to one’s fatherland, or country of origin.
    • Patriotism encompasses devotion to the country as a whole – including all the people who live within it.
    • Nationalism refers to devotion to only one group of people over all others.

Nationalism vs. patriotism

    • Adolf Hitler’s rise in Germany was accomplished by perverting patriotism and embracing nationalism.
    • After World War II, President Harry Truman signed the Marshall Plan, which would provide postwar aid to Europe.
    • Rather, he viewed the “principal concern of the people of the United States” to be “the creation of conditions of enduring peace throughout the world.” For him, patriotically putting the interests of his country first meant fighting against nationalism.
