When she came to power, she declared the council and all the people who had come to Hatfield to swear allegiance to her rule. This speech also brought in her adoption of sovereign's "two bodies", natural body and political body. Elizabeth was very open and welcoming to all her subjects, giving her lots of favor throughout the kingdom. ]]> 2017-02-14 16:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/153769709 twijnmaalen https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154068020 2017-02-15 16:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154068020 twijnmaalen https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154200062 Elizabeth was a Protestant but kept Catholic symbols such as the crucifix, while downplaying Protestant sermons to defy a pure Protestant belief. There was a threat of radical Catholics against the Protestant church, which required Elizabeth I and her Council to make a decision about how they felt about Catholics. She decided to not tolerate the radical Catholics and their reforms, but would allow regular Catholics. Resulting from this, the parliament began to legislate a protestant church that had a monarch at the head, but many Catholic elements, including priestly vestments.]]> 2017-02-16 01:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154200062 twijnmaalen https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154203049 Elizabeth I ruled as a constitutional monarch. This is because there was a civil war in the 17th century, which gave the parliament very significant powers over any monarch, but not ditching the monarchy entirely, leaving them in the middle. Elizabeth still had power but could be overruled by parliament.]]> 2017-02-16 01:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154203049 twijnmaalen https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154204235 2017-02-16 01:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154204235 twijnmaalen https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154204599 2017-02-16 01:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/twijnmaalen/5mv70dqspk76/wish/154204599
