Seventeenth Century Politics: Part I: England Who Rules the State?

Issues in 17th Century Politics Struggle for Stability over war, rebellion and economic chaos Struggle to make the State Sovereign, I.e., dominant over its territories and its people Struggle over who will control the State: the monarch, the nobility or the wealthy?

England at Midcentury Civil War: King Charles I executed 1649 ‘Commonwealth’ ruled by Lord Protector Cromwell & a Puritan Parliament 1658: Cromwell dead 1661: Monarchy Restored by Parliament

England: Foundations of Constitutional Government Magna Carta 1215 Parliament, 13 th Century –Lords: Nobles and Bishops –Commons: Gentry and Merchants –Laws and Extraordinary Taxes English Reformation: –Henry VIII becomes Head of the Church Elizabeth I: Power through Compromise

The Stuarts James I & VI of England and Scotland –Ruled –Asserted Absolute Power –Antagonized People over Politics Religion Taxes –Spent Lavishly on Court, on Favorites

The Stuarts: Charles I Ruled (executed) Asserted Absolute Power over –Finances and taxes –The State –The Church Petition of Right 1628 Ruled without calling Parliament until 1639 Civil War

Cromwell’s Commonwealth Cromwell, The Lord Protector of the Realm Imposed Puritan Principles –No dancing, theatres or card-playing –Sumptuary laws governing dress & styles Exiled Opponents in Parliament Died in 1658 Son Richard stepped aside after ruling until 1660

Restoration: Charles II Parliament invited Charles to rule in 1661 Determined to die of natural causes Personally extravagant, but worked with Parliament Accepted Church of England Married Portuguese Princess, but no legitimate children Died in 1685 Converted to Catholicism on Death bed

James II Charles’ Catholic younger brother, born 1633; at 52, old by 17 th standards Widowed with 2 Adult Daughters, but remarried to a Catholic Princess Admired France and Louis XIV Determined to impose absolute monarchy on England

Glorious Revolution: 1688 Crisis: Prince Charles born 1688 & baptized in a Catholic ceremony ‘Warming Pan Controversy’ Parliamentary Leadership Invited James II’s elder daughter Mary and her husband, William of Orange to take the throne James II, wife and baby flee to France William and Mary take throne

Results of Glorious Revolution Government a partnership between Parliament and the Monarch Bill of Rights protects life, liberty, property Parliament to approve taxes MPs have immunity from arrest and prosecution for anything said in Parliament Catholics barred from throne How Democratic was English Government after 1688?

Constitutional Government King ruled with Parliament but Parliament controlled by –Lords: Hereditary Nobility Bishops –Commons: Men of Property: Gentry (substantial rural landowners) Merchants, bankers, wealthy professionals in towns

Result in England: By 1700, English monarchs had lost the struggle for absolute power. Principle was established that royal authority was NOT absolute, but shared with Parliament. Foundations existed for additional sharing of power in the future, although it would be the 19 th century before average man could vote; 20 th before women could vote.

To Think About…. Why were the English successful in resisting absolutism and in limiting the King’s power? Which groups of people participated in political processes in 17 th and 18 th century England? How ‘democratic’ was the Glorious Revolution?
