Because Britain was in effect a Republic. The years you refer to are 1649 to 1660, and it was obvious that the Parliamentary side had won the Civil War. Oliver Cromwell was offered the Crown & declined it. Nominally therefore Charles II was the King, but was exiled in France, and was in turn defeated at Worcester in 1653. (Hiding subsquently in an Oak tree, hence the idea of the Royal Oak) Charles II was therefore in no position to call Parliament until he was Restored to the Crown in 1660.
