The Interregnum

[IM2]

The thing about this section and this forum in general is that most whites here do not have a complete understanding of their own history.

The Interregnum was the period between the execution of Charles I on 30 January 1649 and the arrival of his son Charles II in London on 29 May 1660 which marked the start of the Restoration. During the Interregnum England was under various forms of republican government (see Commonwealth of England; this article describes other facets of the Interregnum).

The politics of the period were dominated by the wishes of the Grandees (Senior Officers) of the New Model Army and their civilian supporters. They encouraged (or at least tolerated) several republican regimes.

From 1649 until 1653 executive powers lay with Council of State, while legislative functions were carried out by the Rump Parliament.

In 1653 the Grandees, with Oliver Cromwell in the lead, dismissed the Rump, and replaced it with a Nominated Assembly (nicknamed the Parliament of Saints and Barebone's Parliament) made up of 140 nominees, 129 from England, five from Scotland and six from Ireland. It proved to be as difficult for the executive to work with this parliament as it had with the Rump, so, after sitting for five months, members friendly to the Grandees engendered its dissolution on 12 December 1653.

The Instrument of Government was adopted on 15 December 1653 and the pre-eminent Grandee Oliver Cromwell was installed as Lord Protector on the following day.[1] The Instrument of Government granted executive power to the Lord Protector. Although this post was elective, not hereditary, it was to be held for life. It also required the calling of triennial Parliaments, with each sitting for at least five months.

In January 1655, Cromwell dissolved the first Protectorate Parliament, ushering in a period of military rule by the Major Generals.

The Instrument of Government was replaced in May 1657 by England's second, and last, codified constitution, the Humble Petition and Advice. However Oliver Cromwell died the next year and his nominated successor as Lord Protector, his son Richard, proved unable to govern effectively as various political parties strove to gain power.

The Protectorate came to an end in May 1659 when the Grandees recalled the Rump Parliament, which authorised a Committee of Safety to replace Richard's Council of State. This ushered in a period of unstable government, which did not come to an end until February 1660 when General George Monck, the English military governor of Scotland, marched to London at the head of his troops, and oversaw the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II.

This was a period of confusion and instability. The White man could not get government right.

Ah, but for the record, you're living in a government established by white men. It has been stable for 242 years. And it isn't anything like the English monarchies of the 1600's.

Go study your history in context.

He is saying that democracy needs time to put down roots and flourish.
And that it can take several forms as it evolves.

Real democracy, as we understand it today, is less than a century old in the UK. In the US its closer to 50 years old and you are still having issues.

Am I missing something here, or are we not a Constitutional Federal Republic interspersed with democratic principles?

Curious, I don't remember it being your place to tell people where they can "colonize".

You're pretty much the most overt racist on this board.

Your government excluded black people until a war forced the issue. Then you spent another century trying to prevent those black folks from voting. And it still goes on today.
I just read about some backward shithole trying to close all the pollling stations in a black area.
The US is on a journey,like the rest of us , and has no business sitting in judgement of other countries.

Sure, and white men fought other white men so that black slaves could be emancipated. The white men enlisted the help of black men to assist with their (the black man's) own emancipation. The races in America are far more equal than almost any other country in the world.

And you sir, based on your language, have no place passing judgement on a country you don't even live in. People fled England due to it being an oppressive theocratic and monarchical government. It took a revolutionary war to get them to back off.

White men fought white men for independence. The white race has played far more pivotal roles in history (whether for good or worse) than you or the OP give it credit for.

This entire race based argument is garbage.
