What makes a constitutional monarchy different from a absolute monarchy?
From what i have learned and gathered in class recently i believe that an constitutional monarchy would be better because more opinions would be considered. i think if it was an absolute monarchy then all opinions would be similar because it would all be in the family so to speak. And in a way I believe more power would be in the people's hands because the power is really outside the royal family. I don't know this may make not make any sense to anyone else but that's just how i see it. Sorry if i was not helpful.

Did bloody Mary kill young girls then bathe in there blood?
No. Bloody Mary in superstion is just that- superstition. It is an urban myth with no basis in fact. Bloody Mary, the historical figure, was Queen Mary of England. As a Catholic, she had many Protestants during her reign killed, earning her the nickname Bloody Mary. There was, however, a woman named Elizabeth Bathory of Hungarian nobility. Legend says she slapped one of her servant girls one day and some blood fell on her hand. Elizabeth supposedly became convinced that where the blood fell, her skin was whiter and younger, so she apparently began killing young, virginal girls and bathing in their blood. No one knows what attrocities she was accused of are actually accurate; they range from torture to murder in various degrees of sadism. No one is even sure of the number of victims; some believe it to be well into the hundreds, some into the thousands. However, we do know she and some of her servants were put on trial for her apparently killing some of the girls in her service. Her servants were executed; Elizabeth was placed on house arrest and remained so until her death.

What was 'the break from rome'?
The Break With Rome was caused as Henry VIII wanted a Son to take to the heir after him. His wife at the time couldn't give birth and he asked the Pope for a divorce, he refused and Henry was not happy so he sacked the Pope and the newly appointed Arch Bishop of Canterbury gave Henry a divorce.
* The original religion was Catholic and Henry changed it to Protestant.
* Another reason for the Break with Rome was that the monasteries were rich and Henry wanted there money as he had spent a lot on wars.
What was King James 1 like as a king?
This question can not really have a factual answer to it, mostly because of the fact that he didn't have the throne for long-only 3 years. So he wasn't able to get going! He made a few bad choices but nothing extraordinarily bad. I guess every king must make some mistakes just like how King Charles II didn't spend money well, anyway, back to the topic! He had some potential to be a good king but nothing could be said until he started properly which he didn't! So that therefore means that he may of been a good king or may of been a bad kind but people can only judge from what they think may of happened which can't be factual!
Hope I could help :-)
What bad things did King Herod Antipas do?
According to Luke - nothing.
The Gospel According to St Luke says that a few days after Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary took their son from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, then returned home peacefully to Galilee. There was no mention of Herod showing any interest in Jesus. According to Matthew - also nothing.
The Gospel According to St Matthew says that Herod sought to have Jesus killed, but the family fled from Bethlehem to Egypt and remained there until after the death of Herod. The Gospel says that Herod killed all the infants in and around Bethlehem who were under two years old - the "Slaughter of the Innocents". We should expect that someone would have recorded the "Slaughter of the Innocents", if it really occurred, but there is no such record.
