- England slipped into a Civil War in 1642 between the supporters of the King (the Cavaliers or Royalist) and the Parliament forces (the Round Heads). The main reason of the Civil War was because of the disagreements about religion and discontent over the king's use of power and his economic polices. The Parliament was proven victorious due to the New Model Army of Oliver Cromwell who was a military genius.
- Glorious Revolution
- we shall invade England.
- Charles I actions frustrated his Parliament, which resulted in the English Civil War, which led to his execution in 1649. He married a Catholic Princess, Henrietta Maria, in his first year of reign. He dissolved Parliament when he was faced with opposition effectively ruling alone on multiple occasions. He lost support over public welfare issues which were, imposition of drainage schemes in the Fens. Both him and his father believed in the divine right of kings, which meant that they thought as king they were above the law and were chosen by god.

After he died without a son James II became king in 1685.

It also limits the power of monarchs and forces them make decisions that obey the laws of their state. The bill laid the foundation for limited. or constitutional, monarchy.
