Humble Petition and Advice

The Main Strengths and Weaknesses of the Protectorate, 1653-1658 Cromwell was installed as Lord Protector in December 1653, and throughout his time as Protector, Cromwell aimed to 'heal and settle' the wounds of the past and to create a 'godly England'. However, by the end of his life the Protectorate had the support of a narrow population. Nevertheless, the Protectorate had various strengths and weaknesses. An evident strength of the Protectorate was the aim to achieve

extreme disorder.” This shows how Oliver Cromwell became the Lord protector to keep England safe. Parliament became mostly in charge of everything now, and made it clear that they didn’t want something like Charles I to happen again. In Humble petition and advice that the parliament made it

this battle of truth and falsehood, two foes appeared: Theban King Oedipus (who was investigating the cure to a plague upon his city caused by the unsolved murder of the former king Laius) and the blind prophet Tiresias (who Oedipus called upon for advice in which to solve the mystery). Having solved the riddle of the Sphinx who had previously been afflicting Thebes, Oedipus thought highly of himself, and believed himself able to solve the murder mystery by similarly witty means; however, Tiresias

but had no lasting effects. Cromwell himself was aware of the unpopularity of military government and seems to have given tacit support to those who opposed its renewal. The system was abandoned early in 1657 under a new constitution: the Humble Petition and Advice. These failures all added greatly to the eventual failure of the interregnum however there were religious factors which added to the failure as well; the Penruddock uprising was a royalist uprising which was able to knock the confidence

The governments of the interregnum failed to find an acceptable settlement predominantly due the power vacuum which was left by the King when he was executed. This wasn't helped by the lack of legitimacy of the regicide where only 59 MP's signed Charles' death warrant. However one could argue that Oliver Cromwell, Parliament and The New Model Army's want and desire for more power also led to the failure to find an acceptable settlement. After Charles was executed several political problems arose

Virtuous leaders let a nation succeed when its at its greatest peril. The effectiveness of the leader allows the nation to be great and the fulfill their mission. Over the years, the view on what an effective government is has changed. In the 6th Century China, a Philosopher named Lao-Tzu saw an effective

Religious and civil issues were key factors in the outbreak of conflict in the three kingdoms, however Charles influenced them both in ways which meant he made the most significant impact. One cause was the relationship between Charles and his parliament. Charles believed in an absolute monarchy. He saw kingship as his divine right, that going against him was going against the will of god. This inevitably caused friction between him and parliament, who wanted to impose financial guidelines.

being arrogant, priding himself on parading his authority, and also as not being safe to cross; he calls upon Queen Vashti to flaunt her and then deposes her when she refuses. Xerxes also appears to be foolish and unwise in the way that he asks for advice before proceeding with any edict (this happens throughout the whole story, not just in the introduction).

Oliver Cromwell's Achievement of His Objectives from 1642 to 1658 To look at Cromwell’s aims and whether he achieved them or not is to enter “a minefield of` historical controversy and uncertainty,” as modern day historian Barry Coward put it. Cromwell’s aims have always been somewhat of a paradox so to answer whether he achieved them all would be impossible. Many of his goals contradicted or obstructed some of his other views. The views which he held closest to his heart

seventeenth century Parliament fought a war against the King and beheaded him; for the next eleven years there was a British republic and as a result two codified constitutions were written; the Instrument of Government of 1653, and the Humble Petition and Advice of 1657 which replaced it.
