Elizabeth had power over both church and state. In 1559, under the Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity and upheld by the New Prayer Book, Elizabeth's Church of England was established. All spiritual needs were met under the reforms, except the extreme left wings of Catholicism and Protestantism, whose beliefs were outrageous in the eyes of the Queen. With the Act of Supremacy papal authority was abolished, defining Elizabeth as Supreme Governor of the Church. The Act of Uniformity required that all citizens worship on a regular basis according to the rites and ideologies of an open prayer book. There were heavy fines for those who did not attend. She also had the power of life and death and could order executions as necessary - including that of her half-sister, Mary.

How does a painting give the impression of power?
I think that a painting gives a impression of power because it cost's alot of money to get your painting done and how your posture is and they way you look can tell people is your powerful or not.For example Queen Anne's painting look gentle and soft and not powerful but Queen Elizabeth 1st painting look powerful. Sometimes its also about what they wear in the painting because for like Queen Elizabeth in her paintings she wears alot of jewellery (real gold) that also make her look powerful :)
