Summary "A Remonstrance of the State of the Kingdom" is a historical document authored by members of the House of Commons during the early 17th century, specifically in the context of the English Civil War. This book provides a critical examination of the political and social conditions in England at the time, highlighting the tensions between the monarchy and Parliament. The work addresses grievances regarding governance, taxation, religion, and the power struggles that characterized this tumultuous period. The content of the book outlines the various crises that led to the need for Parliament's intervention, detailing the failure of the monarchy to act in the best interests of its subjects. It portrays a wide array of adversities faced by the people, including arbitrary taxation, military levies, and the erosion of legal rights, primarily orchestrated by the royal advisors and supporters of the King. Furthermore, it emphasizes the growing discontent among the populace, underscoring the need for reform and the restoration of lawful governance. Throughout the text, the authors advocate for the protection of civil liberties and religious freedoms, calling for unity against the malign influences that threatened the stability of the kingdom.
