  1. And He Shall Reign… Chapter 11 Section 1 and 2 Notes

  2. 1st Slide is Missing Intentionally • I did not include the 1st slide so the beginning of my lesson would work better and I wouldn’t give anything away.

  3. King Charles I • CHARLES’S GOV’T HAD NO MONEY! • Parliament wouldn’t give King Charles money…so who do you think he went to for money? • That’s right—the citizens • But what if you don’t want to give him $? • You go to jail…problem solved • Parliament told him you couldn’t jail someone because they wouldn’t pay you...which lead to…

  4. The Petition of Right • The Petition of Right was a law passed down from Parliament to restrict the king’s powers • This petition said: • King could not tax the people without the agreement of Parliament • King could not declare martial law (military taking control of the government) • King could not let soldiers live in private homes during peacetime • King could not jail someone without a charge • What do you think the king did?

  5. You Gotta Fight…For Your Right… • You’re wrong this time…King Charles actually signed the Petition into law… • But… • …he then continued to raise taxes anyway • As you might expect, the House of Commons protested… • …so King Charles dismissed Parliament for 11 years! For 11 years, Charles was the only rule maker in England • Think if that happened in America: what would happen if the President ignored Congress and refused to recognize them for 11 years? Would Congress get mad?... • …Of course they would (especially since our president can only serve 8 years in office)… • …So do you think Parliament got mad?

  6. You Gotta Fight…For Your Right… • Of course they did…especially because King Charles would only call them into session when it fit THE KING’S needs • For example, in 1640, Charles wanted money to end a rebellion in Scotland so he called on Parliament for the first time in 11 years • Was Parliament in any mood to help the king? • No. So instead, Parliament passed a law stating they must meet every 3 years (not too bad), that the King couldn’t raise taxes on his own (reasonable), and they executed 2 of the king’s advisors for treason (Wait, what?) • Even WITH the executions, public support was STILL in favor of Parliament until they tried to make changes to the Anglican Church (the most populated church in England) • In 1641, Irish Catholics rebelled against the British • Parliament wanted to be in command of the British army—King Charles refused; no one would give in and it led to civil war in 1642 • The English Civil War pitted Anglicans, Roman Catholics, nobility (rich families) and anti-Parliamentary people (the King’s supporters) VS. • Parliamentary supporters and non-Anglican Protestants

  7. Causes of English Civil War (1642)

  8. English Civil War Result • After four years of fighting the revolutionary New Model Army organized by Puritan Oliver Cromwell defeated the King’s army • The King was jailed, escaped, his army was defeated again, and he was tried for treason • King Charles was convicted and beheaded in 1649 • Oliver Cromwell ruled until his death • His son, Richard took over England but was ineffective and lost the army’s support • Armies have guns…if you don’t have their support, you better leave…and Richard did • Parliament called on Charles II to return to England (he had been exiled by Cromwell) and restore the monarchy • Charles II ruled until his death in 1685 and his Catholic brother, James II, took over England • England had a great distrust of Catholics and ultimately he was ousted from power by William III and Mary II in a bloodless affair called the Glorious Revolution • During the reigns of King Charles II, James II, and William and Mary several key pieces of legislation were passed by Parliament…elements of all three laws exist in the U.S. today
