  2. Taking a Different Path: The Rise of English Parliament What was the Tudor relationship with Parliament like? How did the Stuarts clash with Parliament…how did this lead to revolution? How did English constitutional government development?

  3. Tudors Work with Parliament…Stuarts Don’t • Parliament= group of men that had some power to make laws (along with the monarch) and give advice • Mostly just voted how the monarch wanted, but were used to being consulted before major decisions/being asked for advice • Both Henry VIII and Elizabeth I (known as Tudors) controlled and consulted with Parliament • Next monarch was James Stuart (ruler of Scotland and a relative of Elizabeth), who pushed for absolute power • He needed money for a lavish lifestyle and to pay for wars • James dissolved Parliament when they wanted to discuss things before voting on them • The next king, Charles I, continued this trend and Parliament ended up leading its own revolt against the monarchy

  4. Elizabeth and James

  5. Fighting a Civil War: Cavaliers vs. Roundheads • The result was a civil war in England from 1642-1651 • Cavaliers: • Those who supported the king (Charles I) • Wealthy nobles with better fighting experience • Roundheads: • Those who supported Parliament • Rural high-class people (gentry), manufacturers, and Puritan clergy • Brilliant leader: Oliver Cromwell selected officers out of skill rather than social class • Roundheads defeated the Cavaliers and put the king on trial, then had his head cut off. • This sent a sign that no ruler could take absolute power and ignore parliament without major consequences

  6. Cromwell and the Commonwealth • Parliament makes some changes • Abolished the monarchy, the House of Lords, and the established Church of England • Declared England a republic (called the Commonwealth) • Made Oliver Cromwell leader of the Commonwealth • Challenges • Supporters of the king rose up against England, but Cromwell crushed them • Catholics were treated harshly and exiled to land in the West of Ireland; could be executed on sight if they were in the wrong place • When lower-class people and women asked for the right to be heard in Parliament, Cromwell responded by becoming basically a dictator (Lord Protector) • The End • Puritans gained authority and passed strict laws • Cromwell died in 1658 and, in 1660, a newly elected Parliament invited Charles II to return to England from exile… “The Restoration”

  7. Oliver Cromwell

  8. From Restoration to Glorious Revolution • Charles II’s Changes • Re-opened/re-established taverns, theatres, and the Church of England • Accepted Parliament but did believe in being an absolute monarch • James II, then Mary and William • The next monarch was Catholic in mostly Protestant England • James II overthrew laws and appointed Catholics to high offices, so Parliament invited James’ daughter to take over… “The Glorious Revolution” • William and Mary had to accept the English Bill of Rights before they could take over, which ensured that Parliament was superior to the monarchy (a limited monarchy now) • Parliament had to meet regularly • Parliament could control spending • Kings/queens could not suspend laws • No Catholics could be the king/queen anymore • Reaffirmed rights for the people, like religious freedom and trial by jury

  9. Constitutional Government Evolves • After the Glorious Revolution, 3 new political institutions arose that majorly influenced American government • Political parties • Tories and Whigs • Each party tended to come from a certain background and tended to vote a certain way • The cabinet • Group of advisors to the monarch • The office of Prime Minister • First, just the head of the cabinet • Then, the head of the Parliament • Finally, his power was greater than the monarch
