The Great Fear
The English Civil War Angela
In 1215 the Magna Carta was written and was adopted by the Tudor Era parliament 1. In this Era the parliament and the monarchs communicated amazingly well with each other 2. Then something terrible happened, England fell under the Stuart rule so the Stuarts did not follow the same rules as the Tudors did which lead to great conflict between the parliament and the monarchs so the English fought in a civil war 3. Later after the war was over the English had chopped off the kings head and for a short period England became a country without a monarch 4. England then had the “Glorious Revolution” which was also called the Revolution of 1688, was the overthrow of King James II of England (James VII of Scotland and James II of Ireland) by a union of English Parliamentarians with the Dutch stadtholder William III of Orange-Nassau (William of Orange) 5. William's successful invasion of England with a Dutch fleet and army led to his ascending of the English throne as William III of England jointly with his wife Mary II of England 6. Later monarchs had been required to accept the bill of rights, making England a constitutional monarchy 7.
