Answer:

The Long Parliament was an English Parliament which lasted from 1640 until 1660.

Step-by-step explanation:

In September 1640, King Charles I issued writs summoning a parliament to convene on 3 November 1640. He intended it to pass financial bills, a step made necessary by the costs of the Bishops' Wars in Scotland.
