The English Long Parliament, which convened from 1640 to 1660, did not enact legislation supporting absolutism; rather, it was a key period in which Parliament challenged the authority of King Charles I and sought to limit his power. The Parliament's actions, including the passage of the Triennial Act and the Grand Remonstrance, were aimed at establishing parliamentary sovereignty and addressing grievances against royal authority. The conflict ultimately led to the English Civil War, reflecting a significant pushback against absolutist rule.
absolutism
The English Parliament was the national legislature of the English.
Absolutism was only possible in Europe after the sovereigns were able to overcome the local vested power of nobles, through the use of national armies without local agglomeration. However, during the feudal period, English nobles (barons) forced the monarchy to guarantee their legal position with the Magna Carta. As a result, when the English monarchy would finally be militarily capable of asserting absolutism, it was effectively prevented from doing so because of the barons' power in Parliament. Conversely, French, Spanish, Prussian, Austrian, and Russian nobles did not have these protections and lost power as monarchs became more capable of consolidating their power under absolutism.

In 1534, the English Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy, which declared King Henry VIII as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. This legislation marked the formal break with the Roman Catholic Church and established the monarch's authority over religious matters in England. Additionally, it reinforced the dissolution of monasteries and the redistribution of their wealth and lands. This act was a crucial step in the English Reformation.
