During the Protectorate (1653-1659) under Oliver Cromwell, England was governed by a mix of existing laws and new regulations aimed at maintaining order and promoting Puritanical values. The Instrument of Government, the first written constitution in England, established a Lord Protector and a Council of State, while also emphasizing religious tolerance for Protestant dissenters. However, strict regulations were imposed on activities like theater, dancing, and other forms of entertainment deemed immoral. The Protectorate sought to stabilize the nation following the turmoil of the English Civil War, but it faced ongoing challenges and resistance from various factions.
