The document summarizes the development of the relationship between the English monarchy and Parliament over time. It describes how the Tudors were generally able to work with Parliament to pass laws, but the early Stuart kings clashed with Parliament over their view of absolute rule. This conflict ultimately led to the English Civil War, which ended with the monarchy being abolished. When the monarchy was restored, Parliament's power was further established. Finally, the "Glorious Revolution" saw William and Mary crowned as joint monarchs under conditions set by Parliament, establishing England as a constitutional monarchy.
