| | Commonwealth of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Commonwealth was the republican government which ruled first England and then the whole of Ireland, the colonies and other Crown possessions during the periods from 1649 to 1653 and from 1659 to 1660. | | | Despite its unpopularity, the Rump was a link with the old constitution, and helped to settle England down and make it secure after the biggest upheaval in its history. | | | After the beheading of the monarch Charles I on January 30 1649, its existence was initially declared ("An Act declaring England to be a Commonwealth") by the Rump Parliament on 19 May that year. |

| | He was the son and grandson of clergymen of non-Anglican, ‘dissenting’ congregations that flourished during the English Commonwealth under the general appellation of ‘Independency’. | | | The precocious member of an intellectually undistinguished family, Godwin was tutored privately by an Independent minister in Norwich (the family having moved to the village of Guestwick to the north of that city), and then studied from 1773—8 at the New College, Hoxton, the ‘Hoxton Academy’. | | | In this respect the History of the Commonwealth did much to recover the Republicans’ perceptions of the distinctive merits of republican forms of government as this was understood by them and by the Italian and classical models upon which they drew. |

| | CROMWELL, Oliver [1653] |
| | When Lord Fairfax, reluctant to command the invasion of Scotland, resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief, the Parliament of England passed an act constituting Cromwell "Captain General and Commander-in-Chief of the Forces raised, and to be raised, by Authority of Parliament, within the Commonwealth of England" (26 Jun 1650; commission dated 28 Jun 1650). | | | The act on appointment of Cromwell styled him "Captain General and Commander in Chief of all the Forces raised, and to be raised, by Authority of Parliament, within the Commonwealth of England." After the dissolution of Parliament (20 Apr 1653), Cromwell dropped the reference to "Authority of Parliament" from his title (cf. | | | As Lord General, Cromwell along with the Council of Officers exercised the supreme authority in the Commonwealth until he set up a nominated parliamentary assembly, known as the Nominated or "Barebones" Parliament (4 Jul 1653 - 16 Dec 1653). |

| | History of Virginia: Virginia Is For Lovers |
| | The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is not a state, but a territory. In this case, commonwealth refers to the free association with the United States chosen by the Puerto Rican people. | | | From 1649 to 1660, England and Virginia did not have a king. Instead, the Puritans ruled under a Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell. The government was called the Commonwealth of England. | | | The delegates to the convention in Williamsburg, when the first Constitution of Virginia was adopted on June 29, 1776, used commonwealth as the name for the new form of government. It is very likely they had in mind the Puritans' rebellion against the Crown in England over 100 years earlier. |
