What things Oliver Cromwell did right?

i think the stuff that he did were good. i also think he was a good king :) by bethan dadson 13 years i think this is just my opion not everythink oliver cromwell did was god but some were Oliver Cromwell was not a king. ------------------ Cromwell started out as a farmer and after inheriting some money and converting to an extreme version of Puritanism he was elected as an MP. He was a powerful voice against the King during the short Parliament and a very good general for the "Roundhead" new model army during the civil war. He was however responsible for the purging of Parliament, involved in the execution of the King became the "Lord Protector" of Britain and lead campaigns in Scotland and Ireland that, especially in Ireland, mean he is despised to this day. Good things - he stood up against the "Absolute and Divine Rule of Kings" and helped to set the precedent that Parliament is the final authority in Britain, and he modernised and professionalised the British Army for the first time. Bad things - He then ignored parliament himself and ruled as a fundamentalist dictator, launched near genocidal campaigns against the catholic Irish and placed most of Scotland under military rule. Opinions of Cromwell vary and there is a statue of him outside Westminster still, to some he is a champion of democracy to others a murderous dictator!

What might have happened to the us republic if the framers had not provided for a system of checks and balances?

A good example of what may have happened includes the British Republic, ruled by the Council of State, (1649-53) and then by the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell (1653-58). Cromwell was able to seize control in the power vacuum left by the regicide. The republic-esque system was unstable, and when it fell to Cromwell's not-as-tyrannical son, it fell apart, and eventually was retaken by the monarchy. Of course, it is impossible to know for certain what would have happened, but a non-federalist system with a strong central government oft times leads to further consolidation, and abuse, of power.
