Answer 1

Parliament abolished the monarchy and established the English Commonwealth, led by Puritan Oliver Cromwell, who became Lord Protector. His rule is known as the Interregnum, a period of military success and religious policies favoring Protestantism over Catholicism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The group that formally abolished the monarchy was Parliament, after the execution of King Charles I. After the monarchy was abolished, the English Commonwealth was created. It was led by Oliver Cromwell, who later took the title Lord Protector. This leader was a Puritan, meaning that he supported removing Catholic rituals from the Church of England. Cromwell's time as leader is marked by the period known as the Interregnum, which lasted from 1649 until 1660 when the monarchy was eventually restored.

During Cromwell's rule, England saw significant military success and a push for religious toleration, although this did not extend to Catholics. His rule, despite starting with principles of the Commonwealth, eventually evolved into what many considered to be a dictatorship. Following Cromwell's death and the ineffectiveness of his son Richard, the desire for a balanced structure of governance led to the restoration of the monarchy with Charles II taking the throne.

The group that formally abolished the monarchy was the Rump parliment. After the monarchy was abolished, the Commonwealth of England was created.
