The Transition to the Elizabethan Monarchy

We were taught a lesson when Charles I was executed and there was a great failure to establish any other form of government. The Elizabethan monarchy was essentially a covenant it was a bond between the monarch and the people. This just didn't fit very well because we have unlike France had for example a very small nobility that had always had to rub along with the commons and the king. It's what you see over the period between the civil war and ultimately the glorious revolution as some call it in 1688 is ultimately the kind of thing that many people on the parliamentary side of the civil wars were fighting for which is crown in parliament.
