Q

talk through Elton’s argument

A
  1. constitutional revolution (supremacy, spiritual and temporal power)
  2. political revolution (parliament used so much more frequently to legislate more, change in the composition of parliament)
  3. bureaucratic revolution (government became more departmental e.g. first fruit and tenths, augmentations etc.)

  1. Henry was already significant in areas such as church appointments e.g. in 1532 when Cranmer was appointed the pope confirmed it even though he was a reformer
  2. parliament only grew stronger because the King needed its support - they still definitely worked for him e.g. confirming and not granting the supremacy
  3. departmental change was reactionary and circumstantial not organised revolution. specialised departments had already emerged e.g. Wolsey’s court of star chamber
