The direct effects of the English Revolution during the 17th century was that England was left a divided nation after Oliver Cromwell's death. The Parliament was parted into the Presbyterians and the Independents, which was rather weak in their power of governance.
Jumping back in time, after the execution of Charles I, England became a commonwealth (The Protectorate) for a short period of time while Cromwell (Lord Protector) was in power. Although he rejected the offer of the crown thus leaving England without a monarch, the ways of politics were not radically different.
Cromwell's death ended the times of the republican England, and with his son Richard almost powerless to govern, Charles II was brought back to England, whom was an "enlightened king", and governed under a parliamentary monarchy.
All in all, the English Revolution abolished the divine rights of the king for a while, but in the end the effect that remained was that the Parliament's gaining of power. Therefore, this civil war turned England's table of politics about 20 degrees towards the left, and was the very beginning of the nowadays democracy.
