[@anderskorsback4104]

One essential thing this video leaves out though is that even though the monarchy was restored with Charles II, it was a much reduced monarchy. A monarchy that had to answer to Parliament much in line with what Parliament had originally demanded from Charles I. Thus, Parliament eventually got what it wanted, though only after having endured Cromwell's dictatorship.

[@liamcollins9183]

Then later, after they invited William of Orange to become King, it was on the condition he sign the Bill of Rights 1688, which further reduced the Monarch's power and increased Parliament's, and is an important piece of the British Constitutional framework to this day.

[@fredbarker9201]

[@sigeberhtmercia767]

@@northchurch753 For Anglicans that should read High Church Anglicans as the English puritans (Presbyterians and Independents) were still a part of the Church of England and aimed at a second reformation from within the church. The Brownists and separatists on the other hand while holding similar theological views to the puritan parliamentarians were as their name suggests not particularly welcomed by parliament. In their quest for freedom of religion it was the independents or congregationalist puritans who first set sail for the new world. The American Presbyterians differed at the time from their English counterparts by embracing the same ideal as the independents in regards to freedom of worship. This is reflected in the American revision of the Westminster Confession which is the statement of doctrine held by that denomination.

[@stephenwright8824]

Support for the Royalists bit the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony in the butt after the Restoration when Charles II revoked their corporate charter, appointed a royal governor, and ordered some antidemocratic practises of their colonial government changed immediately. The Puritans here deliberately kept their corporate charter in Boston so they could establish a theocracy in English North America, which they did.
