Be sure you are familiar with the biographies of James I, Charles I, Charles
II, James II, William and Mary, Anne, Oliver Cromwell. Note the failures
of Charles I and James II to rule absolutely while Charles II did rule as he
wished. Note Charles II public role as opposed to how he ruled. Be sure to
note how Parliament adds to its authority and grows as a partner of the Crown in
governing England/Britain. Note the rise of political parties.
