Political Power
1628 - MPs challenge Charles, demand him to listen to them
Charles dissolves gov. 'till 1640 = 11 year tyranny
Parl. supporters feared IR, Liz: many wars, savage portrayal

arrest, imprisonment, torture; Parl side = Preserve Parl rights
King's side = Traditional authority, King rules w/o Question
