MINISTRY - LoveToKnow Article on MINISTRY (912 words)
On the continent of Europe, on the other hand, the word ministry is most usually applied to the responsible head of a particular department together with his subordinates, including the permanent officials or staff.
Before the Revolution of 1688 there were ministers, but no ministry in the modern sense of the word; colleague schemed against colleague in the council chamber, and it was no uncommon thing to see ministers opposing one another in parliament upon measures that in modern times would be supported by a united cabinet.
In 1812 an attempt was made to form, a ministry consisting of men of opposite political principles, who were invited to accept office, not avowedly as a coalition government, but with an offer to the Whig leaders that their friends should be allowed a majority of one in the cabinet.
