7. Reasons for the English Civil War- James I:

Major problems between Parliament & King over issues of Authority, Money, & Religion

8. James I & Parliament:
Authority—James I believed in 'divine right' and absolutism; Parliament felt king should be limited by Parliament
Money—James I has to ask Parliament for money to finance government and life style

9. James I & Parliament:
Religion—Puritans were members of the Anglican Church who wanted all Catholic rituals removed; Puritans were active members of Parliament & were angered when James I arranged marriage of son (Charles) to a Catholic princess

10. Charles I:
When James I died in 1625, his son Charles I became king; Charles was worse than James
Charles believed in divine right & absolute monarchy; refused to discuss ideas with Parliament; only called Parliament when he needed money

11. Charles I:
Parliament got fed up with Charles I & refused to give him money unless he signed Petition of Rights in 1628
King could not jail people without a good reason
King could not make taxes without Parliament's approval
King could not keep his soldiers in peoples’ homes & could not use army to maintain order during peacetime

12. Charles I- Civil War:
Charles I was really mad at Parliament & refused to call another Parliament for 11 years until he needed money to end revolts in Ireland & Scotland
Conflict between supporters of King (Royalists) & Parliament grew so bad that a civil war was inevitable

Conflict between supporters of King (Royalists) & Parliament grew so bad that a civil war was inevitable

14. Civil War: Oliver Cromwell & Aftermath:
Roundheads found a strong leader in Oliver Cromwell
After the Civil War, a Commonwealth was created— type of government with no king & ruled by Parliament
Oliver Cromwell led the Commonwealth, but did not use democracy— he became a military dictator

15. Democracy Under Cromwell?
Life in the Commonwealth was harsh because it was led by Cromwell & the Puritans;
Forced strict religious rules on people of England: It was illegal to go to theatres & sporting events; “merrymaking” & “amusement” were illegal
Citizens hated living these Blue Laws”& began to want to bring back a king again

16. Restoration- Glorious Revolution
People grew tired of the severe, religious rule of Oliver Cromwell & the Puritans; many wanted a king again
In 1660, Charles I’s son became King of England—Charles II was called the “Merry Monarch” because he brought back theatres,sporting events, dancing& he got along with Parliament!!

17. Restoration- Glorious Revolution:
During the Restoration, Parliament strengthened the Church of England—only Anglicans could attend universities, serve in Parliament, be priests in Anglican Church
Parliament created Constitutional Monarchy based on Magna Carta & Petition of Right (Guaranteed rights of people & limited king)

18. Restoration- Glorious Revolution:
BUT, there were problems:
Charles II needed more money than Parliament was willing to give; so he made a secret agreement with Louis XIV of France to convert to Catholicism in exchange for money
Charles II had no children; when he died, his openly-Catholic brother James II will be king (Parliament's worst fear!!)

19. Restoration- Glorious Revolution:
James II angered his subjects and clashed with Parliament
He tried to restore Catholic church and absolutism
Parliamentary leaders invited William and Mary to become rulers of England
When William and Mary landed in England, James II fled to France
This bloodless overthrow of a king became known as the Glorious Revolution.

20. Restoration- Glorious Revolution:
Before they could be crowned, William and Mary had to accept the English Bill of Rights, which:
restated the rights of English citizens
ensured superiority of Parliament over the monarchy
gave the House of Commons “power of the purse” ($)
prohibited a monarch from interfering with Parliament
barred any Roman Catholic from sitting on the throne.

21. Restoration- Glorious Revolution:
