3. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Parliament
… the first king to ask townspeople, knights, clergy,
and nobles to advise him was Edward I (ruled 1272-1307).
In 1295, these
representatives met in the
first Parliament to enact
laws.
4. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Early Parliament
…was divided into the House of Lords and
the House of Commons.
The Lords included nobles and church
leaders, who inherited their seats.
The Commons was made up of wealthy
merchants, elected or appointed.
Edward I felt that the new middle
classes would be more willing to
pay taxes if they helped make
laws.
5. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Modern nation-states developed first in Europe between
1500 and 1800.
New ideas about gov’t spread …
especially about how much
power a king/monarch had over
his subjects.
6. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Once upon a time, there was
an island …
And the island was known as
England to the south…
and Scotland to the north.
And just to the west … was the
land of Ireland.
7. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
The king of England –
Charles I – truly believed
in the Divine Right of Kings.
This attitude kept him quite
out of touch with his subjects.
8. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Charles had inherited the same
financial problem that his
father had:
the refusal of Parliament to
grant funds to a king who
refused to address the
grievances of the nobility.
The king was not listening to
the nobility and they were
ticked off!
9. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Three times summoned and three times dissolved through
1625-1629, Parliament went the next 11 years without being
summoned, as Charles financed his reign by selling
commercial monopolies and extracting ship money (a fee
demanded from towns for building naval warships).
10. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Charles' marriage to the Henrietta Maria
devoutly Catholic French
princess infuriated the
Puritan nobility, as her
Catholic friends flooded into
the royal court.
You wouldn’t think this was a big
deal but remember Henry VIII ? –
England was now a Protestant
country and couldn’t stand the idea
of Catholics having any influence
in the gov’t.
11. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Charles attempted to force a
new prayer book on the
Scots who as Presbyterians
did NOT appreciate it.
Don’t force the Scots to
choose between King and
Church …..
12. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Charles now needs money to put down
the Scots Rebellion ….
He doesn’t have a choice he has to call
Parliament back.
13. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution
Charles still hasn’t learned
how to work with
Parliament -
The struggle
between the king and
Parliament leads to

were destined to
win the battle.

20. SECTION 1
Civil War and Revolution

which promptly turned the
king over to Parliament for a
nominal ransom.
