Home Rule Bill

The Home Rule Bill refers to legislation that allows certain regions or territories within a country to govern themselves to a degree, having their own local government and decision-making powers. This was particularly significant in the context of Ireland in the early 20th century, as Irish leaders sought to gain legislative control for Ireland, allowing it to manage its own affairs while still remaining part of the United Kingdom. The bill aimed to address issues of local governance and representation, responding to desires for greater autonomy and self-determination.
