What causes an absolute monarch to emerge?
Fear and uncertainty in the religion due to territorial conflicts leads to larger armies needed, causing tax increase for a larger army with more money. Heavy taxes cause many to revolt and get angry, and the church looses control as organizations break down. The middle class started supporting the national monarchy that took over in the opening from the church and monarchs then get money from colonies for finances
What were the effects of monarchy on the people?
Rulers wanted to control others ideas and the spread of them, so gatherings were shut down or targeted by monarchs. The size of the court then increased so that the nobles could be noticed and liked by the monarch, and appeared loyal and powerful. The bureaucracies also increased so that they could control the economy, and new positions were developed for this. (similar process in Qing/Han dynasty) Monarchs relied on many for the enforced rules of the economy. However the exercise of absolute power from monarchs caused them to be very oppressive, and people lost their voice in the government.
How did the English Civil War, Restoration, and Glorious Revolution plant the seeds of limited monarchy, also known as constitutional monarchy in 17th century England?
English civil war: parliament began passing laws to stop the monarch’s power as much as it had been used, and once Oliver Crownwell helped win the english civil war he instilled the commonwealth, and disliked the monarchy
Restoration: Bill of rights from William and Mary taking over ?, women began to get more jobs and people could use guns, people established military, less control
Glorious revolution: Bill to rights that limited the royal power by telling the monarch that they cannot suspend parliament laws, can’t levy taxes and can't interfere with freedom of speech
