The Act of Uniformity was passed in 1559 by Queen Elizabeth I. Her brother and sister before her had passed other Acts of Uniformity, but she wanted to unite the Church of England on her own terms. It was more modest than the previous acts, only stating the order of prayers to be said in the 'Book of Common Prayer,' and fining people if they did not attend church at least once per week.

Is Queen Elizabeth the best Queen England had?

Queen Elizabeth II is currently the reigning monarch in numerous realms and territories. She is in fact the Queen of England, as much as she is the Queen of Canada or New Zealand and other states in the Commonwealth. However, England has had a special union with Scotland, (Northern) Ireland, and Wales since the 1800 Act of Union. Presently, the official name of this union is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and she is Queen of this United Kingdom and of its constituent kingdoms.


How did Queen Elizabeth attempt to bring stability moderate and compromise upon her ascendancy to the English throne in 1558?

Upon ascending to the throne in 1558, Queen Elizabeth I sought to bring stability and compromise to England by establishing the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, which aimed to create a middle ground between Catholicism and Protestantism. She enacted the Act of Supremacy, declaring herself the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and the Act of Uniformity, which introduced a revised Book of Common Prayer. By promoting religious tolerance and emphasizing a national identity over sectarian divisions, Elizabeth aimed to unify her subjects and quell religious conflicts that had plagued her predecessors.


Was Elizabeth I powerful?

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.

Why is Queen Elizabeth II successful?

Queen Elizabeth II is queen because the Act of Settlement (1701) provides that since the death of Queen Anne and William III, the senior descendant of the Electress Sophia of Hanover in agnatic primogeniture shall be the monarch of England unless he or she is a Catholic and unless he or she marries a Catholic. The Act of Union (1707) made this law apply to the United Kingdom. From 1936 (before the Queen's accession) until 28 May 1972 His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act modified this rule to exclude the Duke of Windsor from the throne, but that has been dormant since he died. The Australian Constitution provides that whomever succeeds Queen Victoria as sovereign of the UK is Queen of Australia (known as king is male). Queen Elizabeth succeeded Queen Victoria by the operation of the Act of Settlement in conjunction with His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act and that made her Queen of Australia. In short, Elizabeth II is Queen because Parliament made a series of laws to have that effect.
