Our Elective Monarchy

In 1629, frustrated by the unwillingness of Parliament to grant him taxation
power, King Charles I of England dissolved the body and had nine members
arrested. He did not recall Parliament for over a decade. The intervening
period, known as Personal Rule, saw Charles I govern as a de facto dictator,
with only a body of councilors to advise him. In 1640, forced by military
necessity from Scotland, Charles I recalled Parliament in order to raise money
to pay the military; shortly thereafter, stymied by Parliament, he dissolved
the body again. But necessity encroached once again, and Charles I finally
recalled Parliament. This would be the beginning of the end of his monarchy:
the Long Parliament, as it would later be called, directly opposed many of
Charles I’s initiatives, and that opposition would devolve into the English
Civil War — a war that ended with Charles I’s execution.

 

All of this should serve as a brief reminder that when a chief executive
ignores checks and balances, he may maximize his authority temporarily. But
after a while, the royal saddle tends to chafe.
