	Station Information - English Parliament
		An English Parliament was first constituted as the result of Magna Carta, although it did not begin to meet regularly until the reign of Edward III.
		Alternatively, some would have this parliament take the form of an English Grand Committee in the United Kingdom House of Commons rather than as a new body with separate elections, while some see it as replacing the House of Commons, with a reformed House of Lords being the sole UK chamber.
		The creation of a new English parliament would not solve the problems, as legislation for England and Wales would still have to be enacted in the UK Parliament.

	ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
		Thus once an English parliament was in being, it would in practice have a great deal of power regardless of the initial theoretical limits of its authority.
		An English Secretary with similar powers would be an absurdity, because he or she would exercise more power than the prime minister for most of UK government expenditure and patronage would be under his control.
		Suppose that English majorities committed to an English parliament were elected to Westminster, yet were never able to form a government because an English minority allied to the Celts formed a Commons majority.

		This distrust was given sharp focus by the outbreak (Oct., 1641) of a rebellion against English rule in Ireland; an army was needed to suppress the rebellion, but the parliamentarians feared that the king might use it against them.
		In June, 1642, Parliament sent to the king a statement reiterating the demands of the Grand Remonstrance, but since the proposals amounted to a complete surrender of sovereignty by the crown to Parliament, the king did not even consider them as a basis for discussion.
		Parliament organized its own army and appointed Robert Devereux, 3d earl of Essex, to head it.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Post-Reformation Oaths
		The English Reformation having been imposed by the Crown, it was natural that submission to the essential points of its formularies should have been exacted with some solemnity, by oath, test, or formal declaration, and that these should change with the varying moods of those who dominated in the State.
		The king had actually broken with the pope, and Parliament had enacted that the king should be "taken, accepted and reputed the only supreme head on Earth of the church of England" by every one of his subjects.
		But when the country and the Parliament had gone mad over Oates's plot, 1678, a much longer and more insulting test was devised, which added a further clause that "The invocation of the virgin Mary, or any Saint and the Sacrifice of the Mass.
