Monarchy vs. Parliament
Parliament: England’s legislative body.
House of Lords which represented the nobility.
House of Commons (the lower house) which represented everyone else.
Parliament controlled the finances!
The Tudor’s dealt with Parliament well- the Stuart’s did not!
Palace of Westminster

Expanded English international trade and influence was actively pursued through the East India Company
1605 - Gunpowder Plot; Guy Fawkes and other Roman Catholic conspirators fail in attempt to blow up Parliament and James I.
The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) was one of the most destructive conflicts in European history – began during his reign

James I- Legacy
James handed down to his son Charles I a fatal belief in the divine right of kings, combined with a disdain for Parliament.
These beliefs and attitudes led to English Civil War and the execution of Charles I.

Petition of Right - 1628
The King would not:• imprison subjects without due cause.• levy taxes without Parliament’s
consent.• house soldiers in private homes.• impose martial law in peacetime.After agreeing to the petition, Charles
ignored it because it limited his power.
The petition was important: it set forth the idea that the law was higher than the king.

Think Through History
Explain how the Petition of Right contradicted the idea of absolute monarchy.
An absolute sovereign was supposed to be above everyone; the Petition of Right said that the law and Parliament could limit the power of the English monarch.

Charles I
1629 – 1640 Charles I dissolved Parliament and ruled personally
Charles tried to arrest Parliament’s leaders in January 1642 –they escaped.
A mob of Londoners raged outside the palace.
Charles fled London and raised an army in the north of England, where people were loyal to him.

Death of King Charles I - 1649 Cromwell and the Puritans
brought Charles to trial for treason. They found him guilty and sentenced him to death.
The execution of Charles was revolutionary. Kings had often been overthrown, killed in battle, or put to death in secret.
Never before had a reigning monarch faced a public trial and execution by his own people.

Commonwealth of England 1649-1653
Cromwell ruled with Rump Parliament
Rump Parliament abolished the monarchy and the House of Lords, and declared a republic, or commonwealth.
1653-Cromwell dismissed Parliament-too difficult to work with- and set up a military dictatorship.
![Page 21: The Stewart’s. Who Was Mary Queen of Scots? Mary Stewart was Elizabeth I’s cousin and a rival to the throne. Mary was queen of Scotland and Catholics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c765503460f9492af64/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rump Parliament
The Rump Parliament – what was left after the Long Parliament: abolished the House of Lords, abolished the Anglican Church and consisted of less than 50 members
Since 1649, the term "rump parliament" has been used to refer to any parliament left over after the true parliament has formally dissolved.

Restoration of the Stuarts
Parliament then restored the monarchy
Charles II took the throne from 1660 -1685.
Under the restored Stuart monarchy, Parliament kept much of the power it had gained.
It restored the Church of England as the state religion and restricted some rights of Catholics and Puritans.

James II
1685- James II (the younger brother of Charles II) became king when Charles II died
Devout and openly Catholic.
James named Catholics to high positions in the government, armed forces, and universities.
Conflict over religion again brewed.

Glorious Revolution 1688
Parliament did not want James II’s Catholic son to assume the throne.
The Dutch leader, William of Orange, a Protestant and husband of James’s daughter Mary, invited to rule England.
James II and his family fled, so with almost no violence, England underwent its “Glorious Revolution.”

Act of Toleration 1689
