Commonwealth and Protectorate


Religious and Political Issues faced by The Rump
the Rump  declared itself to be the sole legislative authority
 elected a Council of State to take charge of government whilst reserving legislative
and supervisory powers to the Rump as a whole
 any member that registered opposition to the Commons vote to continue
negotiations with the former King was allowed back in
Lack of Planning
 supporters of the new regime often had very different visions of what the
Commonwealth should be
 the Rump was focused on ensuring stability and calming conservative fears
 the army and other radicals visualised a much greater social transformation
Support of the minority
 only a minority supported the new regime
 rump had to gain the confidence of the traditional ruling class to help them rule the
localities
 regime couldn’t survive without military support, but the army was expensive,
unpopular and radical which alienated potential supporters from the regime
Leveller Opposition
 felt uninvolved in decisions surrounding the trial
 hoped a new version of the Agreement of People would form the basis of the new
constitution
 tried to use the army and incite soldiers into mutiny {rebellion}
 mutinies- some took place, but Leveller leaders were arrested and mutinies were
suppressed at Burford in Oxfordshire by Cornwall
 calls for radical reform continued in the army
Irish Opposition
 threat of Royalist invasion
 charles’ execution united Irish Anglicans and Catholics, which enhanced the
possibility of an invasion by Charles II with foreign help
 defeat of Levellers allowed Cromwell to land In Ireland and imposed a brutal and
rapid peace on Ireland
Scottish Threat
 possessed a formidable army which they placed at the disposal of Charles II
 Dunbar- English army were trapped and deprived of supplies, weakened by
disease
 September 1650- impatience of the Scots and a counter assault by Cromwell led to
a victory, convincing Cromwell of God’s blessing on the new Republic
 September 1651- Cromwell destroyed the Royalist army at Worcester
Diggers
 claimed communal use of land as the earth was made by God for all humanity to
share
 religious sects were developing rapidly
Support for the Monarchy
 charles claimed his trial was illegal
 his courage in the face of death restored respect for him and the monarchy, and
Royalist propaganda capitalised this
The Rump Religion
1649-1653  statutes compelling attendance at Church were repealed, providing a degree of
religious freedom
 Commission for the Propagation of the Gospel in Wales 1650- got rid of
ministers who were considered unfit, was due for renewal in 1653 but was allowed
to lapse
 Blasphemy and Adultery Acts 1650- legislated against more extreme sects {Fifth
Monarchists}
 some MP’s wanted to preserve a national church finances through the tithe {10% of
earnings to be given to the church}
 larger parishes were to be divided and smaller ones united

Law
 laws on debtors were eased
