Document Summary
The reforms started and gained speed predominantly in london because london is home to the largest overtaxed, poorly represented, educated protestant descenders (might be on the test, don"t forget protestant descenders) who want change. They dislike the theocratic constitution and believe that the church of england should not hold as much power as they have been offered by the state in centuries past (the church and the state = a symbiotic relationship. The theocratic state and the urban middle class = a parasitic relationship. ) For next tuesday, the theme will be focused heavily on the urban middle class, so be prepared with the subject. Rooted in country party principles of an earlier era. Sub thesis: the coming together of country party and urban proclivity for democratic reform brought about the first actually radical reform movements in london (radical is an important word to know. )
