Then in the 1670s the first political parties,the Whigs and the Tories,were formed,once again as a direct result of religious controversy.(The heart of the matter was a debate as to whether a Roman Catholic should be able to succeed to the throne)Political parties caused the traditon of debate to become embedded in British life.In parliament the two parties sat facing each other and expected to disagree and argue.Abroad,many of the more advanced thinkers,particularly in France,were very jealous of this tradition of free and open debate.The great French writer,Voltaire,for example,praised England in his Lettres Anglaises.
然后在十六世纪七十年代, 辉格党和保守党作为第一批形成的政党是多次宗教争端的直接产物。(核心问题在于争论罗马教皇是否能够成功登上宝座)政党使辩论这一传统深深嵌入英国生活中。两方政党在议会中面对面坐着预料到了争议和不一致。在国外,尤其是在法国,许多先进思想者十分妒忌这种自由开放辩论的传统。比如,法国伟大作家Voltaire在他的letres Anglaises中赞美了英国。 |
