Best Answer

During the English Civil War, which went on for twenty years or so and ended in about 1648, the fighting was between the forces of the King, Charles I, and the forces of Parliament. The Parliamentary Army was eventually led by Oliver Cromwell, and won the war, after which they beheaded Charles I and Cromwell ruled England for about a dozen years as the Lord Protector, turning down an offer to make him King. Sometimes the army and supporters of Charles I are called Cavaliers (the source of the nickname for the athletic teams at the University of Virginia), and sometimes the Parliamentary supporters and forces are called Roundheads (from the hats they liked to wear), or Puritans. These were the same Puritans who at the same time were being driven from England for disagreeing with the Established Church, which was the Church of England, of which the King (or Queen) is head. These were the settlers of Massachusetts and New England in the northeastern US.

Which countries have a democratic government?

Only four countries in the world today do not identify themseves as democratic in one form or another. These are Saudi Arabia, Myanmar (Burma), Brunei, and Vatican City. Of the other countries there are many that claim to be democratic, but in practice are too corrupt, too volatile, or have too many restrictions on human rights to be considered "true democracies" According to the Democracy Index produced by the Economist Magazine there are 30 Full Democracies: Where national elections are free and fair, voters are free to vote in safety, there is no manipulative influence by foreign governments, and the civil cervice is capable of administering polices effectively. 50 Flawed Democracies: Countries that practice democracy, but have some significant problems with the process. 36 Hybrid Regimes: Where there is some democratic elements but they are often hampered by corruption or threat as to be less effective than they might otherwise. 51 Authoritarian Regimes: Where the state claims to be democratic but in practice there is little or no democracy in the process or running the nation. The "Full Democracies" according to the Democracy index are: Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Spain, Malta, Japan, United States, Czech Republic, Belgium, United Kingdom, Greece, Uruguay, France, Portugal, Mauritius, Costa Rica, South Korea, Italy, and Slovenia
