- Role and Importance of Parliament
- Parliament was only really used to raise money and pass statue laws
- Proclamations were used by the King to create laws without Parliament
- The Reformation Parliament (1529-1536) were involved in an unprecedented range and quantity of laws
- Parliament became involved in topics which they previously had not been, e.g. religion
- However, although Parliaments status was enhanced, it had no will of its own and could only act on the Kings say so
- Also, the reformation parliament was created because of the divorce issue, showing it wasn't a master plan of Cromwells
- King and Parliament replaced by King in Parliament
- Parliament became involved in topics which they previously had not been, e.g. religion

- The 1553 Act of Restraint of Appeals, designed to stop any appeals to Rome
- Anything involving the Church: the Pope had the last say
- Church and State were Separate

- The Act of Union with Wales, legally brought Wales under the control of the King
- The Act of Liberties and Franchises, dealt with Lords taking advantage of their power
- Fragmented State to Unitary State
- However, the argument that there was revolution was mainly based on his plans rather than what actually happened
- The crown was still very dependant on JP's
