People From The Province Of Sassari
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination.

Sardinia's Day ( ; ; ; ; ), also known as the Sardinian People's Day (), is a holiday in Sardinia commemorating the Sardinian Vespers, which occurred from 1794 to 1796. History In the last decades of the 18th century following the Savoyard take-over of the island and the once Spanish Kingdom, tensions had begun to mount among the Sardinians towards the Piedmontese administration. Sardinian peasants resented the feudal rule and both the local nobles and the bourgeoisie were being left out of any active civil and military role, with the viceroy and other people from the Italian mainland being appointed in charge of the island. Such political unrest was bolstered further by the international situation, with particular regard to the ferment developing in other European regions (namely Ireland, Poland, Belgium, Hungary, Tyrol) and the episodes leading to the French Revolution. In 1793, a French fleet tried to conquer the island along two lines of attack, the first one across th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
