Always start your essay with a short but clear introduction laying out the points you will make. In this essay it is vital that you:
(a) define "revolution"; lasting change, modernisation, progression, significant change?
(b) what were the major changes? Reform/introduction of the Privy Council, financial reforms, change in the role of Parliament
(c) assess the extent to which the changes were of Cromwellian design - it is perfectly valid to point out that a revolution DID occur in government, but Cromwelll did not make it happen
(d) was it good or bad for Cromwell? If it only caused Cromwell problems, it can't really be considered a revoltution for him
Make sure you reach a certain degree of judgement or at least evaluation by the end of the introduction - don't just make it narrative or a description of the problems!
