The failure of the Commonwealth, 1649-53
NMA hostility • Army believed C'wealth not radical enough
• Insufficient religious reform as the independents
wanted
• Suppression of the Levellers
• Rump especially alienated the army (pay & not sent
home/failure to 'heal & settle'/Dutch war meant
money not used in other ways)
Anglo-Dutch War • Meant more tax, inability to spend on widows
pensions/poor relief
Rump (i)
Unpopularity of
• Loss of army support (see above)
• Lack of any religious settlement
• Lack of radical political/legal/social reform after first
months
• MP's accused of working for their own gain
Rump (ii)
Treatment of
former royalists
• Loss of land
• Fines
• Failure to encourage "heal & settle"
Rump (iii)
confusion over
1653 elections
• = attempt to perpetuate itself
Cromwell's
position
• Dominates through personality, public stature, military
power
• As leader of army could use it to close/change sytems
at will
• Rump/Barebones always had to "look over their
shoulder" - no real freedom to act
Fear that radical
reform would
lead to a
conservative
reaction
• Rump especially was always concerned that to act too
radically would bring the enemies of Parliament
together and lead to opposition & possible unrest.
• Moderate/radical conflict in Barebones alarms
moderates so much that they close the barebones down
and hand back power
In conclusion, after the death of Charles, the Commonwealth system failed to
provide clear, effective government.
It was always envisaged that the Rump would be shortlived to prepare for a new
permanent way of governing the country. The early failure of the Commonwealth,
just speeded this up.
