... loss of Cromwell’s tyrannical genius thus a Restoration of the Monarchy seemed plausible. Rabid Religious Fervour mixed with constitutional theorizing: the War left only existing Political conflict and not a unified state, yet within that conflict you have both the birth of Constitutional Monarchy and two-way Party Politics.
