The English Civil War Introduction Throughout early English history, there was an obvious tension between the Monarch and Parliament. At the heart of that struggle was the quest for power. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1563-1603), Parliament and English society in general experienced all the advancements of the Renaissance and Enlightenment. This included the acquisition of a political world view as well as a progressive philosophy regarding governance. The people began to demand representation. Under the rule of King Charles I (1626-1649), however, the doctrine of absolutism reigned supreme. He dissolved Parliament and assumed complete political control of the Kingdom. This display of authoritarianism was considered anachronistic and the Parliament and commoners alike descended into a civil war that brought the monarchy to an, although temporary, end. The effects of this English Civil War are still recognizable in all, and in particular American, democracy today. These effects include representative assemblies, bills of rights, and limited government. IntroductionObjectivesProcessConclusionAssessment
