In a constitutional monarchy the monarch shares his or her powers with a government that is organized by a constitution. He or she is a nonpolitical head of states restrained by either a written or unwritten constitution, which relocates the rest of the power to the legislature and the judiciary.

As Secretary for Foreign Tongues, or Latin Secretary, he worked closely with many of the foremost members of the anti-monarchial regime, such as Oliver Cromwell. As politically active
Woman and family roles are considerably different today than they were back in Puritan times. Puritans thought that the public’s foundation rested on the “little commonwealth”, and not merely on the individual.
