Tudor revolution in government: The Debate For your homework you were asked to look at the debate on whether Cromwell brought about changes to the structure in government that amounted to a revolution.

Tudor revolution in government: The Debate There is some agreement amongst historians in that new institutions did emerge and government expanded to cope with the changes brought about by Henry VIiI’s decision to break away from the Pope’s control to get the divorce he needed.

Assess how convincing the argument in this extract is in relation to the existence of a Tudor revolution in government in the time of Thomas Cromwell The changes in government under Cromwell were revolutionary, if that term may be applied to any changes which profoundly affect the constitution and government of a state even when no systematic and entire destruction was involved. The essential ingredient of the Tudor revolution was the concept of national sovereignty which Cromwell summarised in the Act of Appeals of 1533 by using the phrase ‘this realm of England is an empire’. Previous kings like Edward I had claimed to rule an empire but the meaning here is different. Instead of a claim based on ruling a large extent of land, the Act said that Henry was the ‘one supreme Head and King’. The royal supremacy over the Church virtually replaced the Pope in England by the King but the Reformation statutes demonstrate that the political sovereignty created in the 1530s was a parliamentary one. Cromwell’s administrative reforms – like the Privy Council – provided the machinery for the new state that he had started to construct.
