  1. Aim/Goal: How did Parliament emerge supreme in England? Do Now: Some have said that the person or group which controls the “purse” of a nation has the greatest amount of power in that nation. Do you agree or disagree? Explain. Homework: As the power of Parliament increased the power of England’s kings decreased. Explain this statement in a paragraph.

  2. Answers to the “Do Now.” • Civil war: A war between groups of people from the same country, culture, or political system. • Absolutism: A monarch (King/Queen) who has total control. Example is King Louis XIV of France. • Divine Right: the idea that God decides who should be King/Queen.

  6. Answer #2: 2. Why did King James I have trouble with Parliament? King James I had trouble with Parliament because he believed in the Divine Right of Kings and he spent a lot of money. In order for him to get money he needed to ask Parliament—in which they usually shot him down.

  7. Answer #3: 3. Explain the differences between the Roundheads and the Cavaliers in the English Civil War. Which side won? The Roundheads were member of Parliament, middle class and the Puritans (Protestants). The Cavaliers sided with the King and they were Roman Catholics, nobles and rich landowners. The Roundheads were the WINNERS!

  8. Answer #4: 4. Oliver Cromwell is the only person to rule England for the last 900 years who was not a King. Explain how this happened. Oliver Cromwell is the only person to rule England who was not a King because after the death or should I say after the execution of King Charles I, Cromwell became a dictator (he did whatever he wanted).

The Glorious Revolution(1688-1689) • The Glorious Revolution was not a bloody revolution like the English Civil war was. • King James II fled England and his daughter Mary and son-in-law William were invited by Parliament to take his place. • Bill of Rights (1689): is a primary source document that established Parliaments supremacy over the King. This starts the concept of a “limited monarchy” in England.
