It was during the reign of the Tudor monarchs that the modern structure of the English Parliament began to be created. The Tudor monarchy was powerful and there were often periods of several years time when parliament did not sit at all. However the Tudor monarchs were smart enough to realize that they needed parliament to legitimise many of their decisions, mostly out of a need to raise money through taxation legally without causing dissatisfaction. Thus they consolidated the state of affairs whereby monarchs would call and close parliament as and when they needed it.

We had the Civil War between the forces of King Charles I (cavaliers) and parliament (roundheads), which determined the death of an absolute monarchy; one in which the King has total authority. Eventually, the Parliament forces prevailed and deposed the King, beheading him in 1649. From then on, England was a republic, under the authority of Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell.
