The English Revolution
Warm Up:
What is a revolution and why do people rebel?
Parliament Limits the English
Monarchy
◼Queen Elizabeth had frequent conflicts with
Parliament
▪ The biggest obstacle to her becoming an absolute
ruler was Parliament’s financial power
◼When Elizabeth died, the throne was passed
to her cousin, James Stuart, who was already
king of Scotland (these two countries were
not united until 1707)
Charles I
◼ When James died, King Charles I came to power
◼ In 1628, Parliament refused to give Charles I
money until he signed the Petition of Right
▪ The petition set forth the notion that the law was
higher than the King ( he signed this but did not follow
it)
◼ In January 1642, Charles tried to arrest
Parliament’s leaders
▪ Leaders escaped and Charles left the country but
raised an army
English Civil War
◼Civil War lasted from 1642-1649
◼Charles’ supporters were called Royalist or
Cavaliers vs. Puritans or Roundheads
◼Puritan supporters were called Roundheads
and their leader was Oliver Cromwell
◼In 1649, the Puritans brought Charles to trial,
found him guilty, and sentenced him to death
Oliver Cromwell
◼Established a commonwealth: republican
form of government
◼He eventually became a dictator
◼Cromwell sought to reform society
▪ They abolished activities they found sinful such as
the theater, sporting events, and dancing
Restoration and the Glorious
Revolution
◼ In 1659, Parliament asked the older son of Charles I
to rule England because they were sick of military
rule
◼ Charles II restored the monarchy, the period of his
rule is called the Restoration
◼ Habeas corpus is Latin meaning, “to have the body”
▪ Gave every prisoner the right to be brought before a judge
to determine punishment
▪ A monarch could not put someone in jail for simply
opposing the ruler
▪ Prisoners could not be held indefinitely without trial
Glorious Revolution
◼ When Charles II died, James II came to power
◼ James offended his subjects by flaunting his
Catholicism
◼ William and Mary’s bloodless overthrow of King
James II is called the Glorious Revolution
◼ England was now a constitutional monarchy, where
laws limited the ruler’s power
▪ Laws limited the ruler’s power
▪ Parliament drafted a Bill of Rights to make the power of
the King clear
