This action resulted from the Parliament not allowing him to levy taxes without yielding to its terms. At the beginning of the Long Parliament (1641), the King's supporters pursued a course of reform of previous abuses. The increasing radicalism of the Parliamentary majority, however, estranged many reformers even in the Parliament itself and drove them to make common cause with the King. The King's party was thus a mixture of supporters of royal <a href="/wiki/Autocracy" title="Autocracy">autocracy</a> and of those Parliamentarians who felt that the Long Parliament had gone too far in attempting to gain executive power for itself and, more specifically, in undermining the episcopalian government of the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a>, which was felt to be a primary support of royal government. By the end of the 1640s, the radical Parliamentary programme had become clear: reduction of the King to a powerless figurehead and replacement of Anglican <a href="/wiki/Episcopal_polity" title="Episcopal polity">episcopacy</a> with a form of <a href="/wiki/Presbyterianism" title="Presbyterianism">Presbyterianism</a>. </p><p>This prospective form of settlement was prevented by a <a href="/wiki/Coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" title="Coup d'état">coup d'état</a> which shifted power from Parliament itself to the Parliamentary <a href="/wiki/New_Model_Army" title="New Model Army">New Model Army</a>, controlled by <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Cromwell" title="Oliver Cromwell">Oliver Cromwell</a>. The Army had King <a href="/wiki/Charles_I_of_England" title="Charles I of England">Charles I</a> executed and for the next 11 years the British kingdoms operated under <a href="/wiki/Military_dictatorship" title="Military dictatorship">military dictatorship</a>. <a href="/wiki/Stuart_Restoration" title="Stuart Restoration">The Restoration</a> of <a href="/wiki/Charles_II_of_England" title="Charles II of England">King Charles II</a> produced a reaction in which the King regained a large part of the power held by his father. However, Charles' ministers and supporters in England accepted a substantial role for Parliament in the government of the kingdoms. No subsequent British monarch would attempt to rule without Parliament, and after the <a href="/wiki/Glorious_Revolution" title="Glorious Revolution">Glorious Revolution</a> of 1688, political disputes would be resolved through elections and parliamentary manoeuvring, rather than by an appeal to force. Charles II also restored <a href="/wiki/Episcopacy" class="mw-redirect" title="Episcopacy">episcopacy</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a>. His first <a href="/wiki/Cavalier_Parliament" title="Cavalier Parliament">Cavalier Parliament</a> began as a strongly royalist body, and passed a series of acts re-establishing the Church by law and strongly punishing dissent by both Roman Catholics and non-Anglican Protestants. These acts did not reflect the King's personal views and demonstrated the existence of a Royalist ideology beyond mere subservience to the Court. </p><p>A series of disasters in the late 1660s and 1670s discredited Charles II's governments, and powerful political interests (including some who had been identified with the Parliamentary side in the <a href="/wiki/English_Civil_War" title="English Civil War">Civil War</a>) began to agitate for a greater role of Parliament in government, coupled with more tolerance for <a href="/wiki/Protestant" class="mw-redirect" title="Protestant">Protestant</a> dissenters. These interests would soon coalesce as the <a href="/wiki/British_Whig_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="British Whig Party">Whigs</a>. As direct attacks on the King were politically impossible and could lead to execution for treason, opponents of the power of the Court framed their challenges as exposés of subversive and sinister <a href="/wiki/Popish_plot" class="mw-redirect" title="Popish plot">Catholic plots</a>. Although the matter of these plots was fictitious, they reflected two uncomfortable political realities: first, that Charles II had (somewhat insincerely) undertaken measures to convert the kingdom to Catholicism (in a 1670 <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Dover" class="mw-redirect" title="Treaty of Dover">treaty</a> with <a href="/wiki/Louis_XIV_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Louis XIV of France">Louis XIV of France</a>); second, that his younger brother and <a href="/wiki/Heir_presumptive" title="Heir presumptive">heir presumptive</a>, <a href="/wiki/James_II_of_England" title="James II of England">James, Duke of York</a>, had in fact converted to Catholicism, an act that many Protestant Englishmen in the 1670s saw as only one step below high treason. </p><p>The Whigs tried to link the <a href="/wiki/Lord_Lieutenant_of_Ireland" title="Lord Lieutenant of Ireland">Lord Lieutenant of Ireland</a>, the <a href="/wiki/James_Butler,_1st_Duke_of_Ormonde" class="mw-redirect" title="James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde">Duke of Ormonde</a>, with the foremost Irish Tory, <a href="/wiki/Redmond_O%27Hanlon_(outlaw)" title="Redmond O'Hanlon (outlaw)">Redmond O'Hanlon</a>, in a supposed plot to murder <a href="/wiki/Titus_Oates" title="Titus Oates">Titus Oates</a>.

In December 1680, the government seized these letters and the plan collapsed. In January 1681, the Whigs first began calling the supposed Irish plotters Tories, and on 15 February 1681 is recorded the first complaint from an English Royalist about the epithet Tory by the anti-Exclusion newspaper <i>Heraclitus Ridens</i>: "[T]hey call me scurvy names, Jesuit, Papish, Tory; and flap me over the mouth with their being the only True Protestants".<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Within a few months, anti-Exclusionists were calling themselves Tories and a northern Dissenter called <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Heywood_(minister)" title="Oliver Heywood (minister)">Oliver Heywood</a> recorded in October: "Ms. H. of Chesterfield told me a gentleman was at their house and had a red Ribband in his hat, she askt him what it meant, he said it signifyed that he was a Tory, whats that sd she, he ans. an Irish Rebel, — oh dreadful that any in England dare espouse that interest.

That the Exclusion Bill was the central question upon which parties diverged, did not hinge upon an assessment of the personal character of the Duke of York (though his conversion to Catholicism was the key factor that made the Bill possible), but rather upon the power of Parliament to elect a monarch of its own choosing, contrary to the established laws of succession. That the Parliament, with the consent of the King, had such power was not at issue; rather, it was the wisdom of a policy of creating a King whose sole title to the Crown was the will of Parliament and who was essentially a Parliamentary appointee. </p><p>On this original question, the Tories were in the short run entirely successful as the Parliaments that brought in the Exclusion Bill were dissolved, Charles II was enabled to manage the administration autocratically and upon his death the Duke of York succeeded without difficulty. The <a href="/wiki/Monmouth_Rebellion" title="Monmouth Rebellion">rebellion</a> of <a href="/wiki/James_Scott,_Duke_of_Monmouth" class="mw-redirect" title="James Scott, Duke of Monmouth">Monmouth</a>, the candidate of the radical Whigs to succeed Charles II, was easily crushed and Monmouth himself executed. However, in the long run Tory principles were to be severely compromised. Besides the support of a strong monarchy, the Tories also stood for the Church of England, as established in Acts of Parliament following the <a href="/wiki/Stuart_Restoration" title="Stuart Restoration">restoration</a> of Charles II, both as a body governed by bishops, using the <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Common_Prayer" title="Book of Common Prayer">Book of Common Prayer</a> whilst subscribing to a specific <a href="/wiki/Thirty-Nine_Articles" class="mw-redirect" title="Thirty-Nine Articles">doctrine</a> and also as an exclusive body established by law, from which both Roman Catholics and <a href="/wiki/Nonconformist_(Protestantism)" title="Nonconformist (Protestantism)">Nonconformists</a> were excluded. </p><p>During his reign, James II fought for a broadly tolerant religious settlement under which his co-religionists could prosper—a position anathema to conservative Anglicans. James' attempts to use the government-controlled <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">church</a> to promote policies that undermined the church's own unique status in the state led some Tories to support the <a href="/wiki/Glorious_Revolution" title="Glorious Revolution">Glorious Revolution</a> of 1688. The result was a King established solely by parliamentary title and subject to <a href="/wiki/Bill_of_Rights_1689" title="Bill of Rights 1689">legal controls</a> established by Parliament, the principles that the Tories had originally abhorred. The Tories' sole consolation was that the monarchs chosen were close to the main line of succession as <a href="/wiki/William_III_of_England" title="William III of England">William III</a> was James II's nephew and William's wife <a href="/wiki/Mary_II_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="Mary II of England">Mary</a> was James's elder daughter. The <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Toleration_1689" class="mw-redirect" title="Act of Toleration 1689">Act of Toleration 1689</a> also gave rights to Protestant dissenters that were hitherto unknown, while the elimination of a large number of bishops who <a href="/wiki/Nonjuring_schism" title="Nonjuring schism">refused to swear</a> allegiance to the new monarchs allowed the government to pack the episcopate with bishops with decidedly Whiggish leanings. In both these respects the Tory platform had failed, but the institutions of monarchy and of a state Church survived. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Balanced_ministries_and_opposition">Balanced ministries and opposition</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tories_(British_political_party)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Balanced ministries and opposition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Despite the failure of their founding principles, the Tories remained a powerful political party during the reigns of the next two monarchs, particularly that of <a href="/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain" title="Anne, Queen of Great Britain">Queen Anne</a>. During this time, the Tories fiercely competed with the Whigs for power, and there were frequent Parliamentary elections in which the two parties measured their strength. William III saw that the Tories were generally more friendly to royal authority than the Whigs, and he employed both groups in his government.

Although William's successor Anne had considerable Tory sympathies and excluded the Junto Whigs from power, after a brief and unsuccessful experiment with an exclusively Tory government she generally continued William's policy of balancing the parties, supported by her moderate Tory ministers, the <a href="/wiki/John_Churchill,_1st_Duke_of_Marlborough" title="John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough">Duke of Marlborough</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sidney_Godolphin,_1st_Earl_of_Godolphin" title="Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin">Lord Godolphin</a>. </p><p>The stresses of the <a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Spanish_Succession" title="War of the Spanish Succession">War of the Spanish Succession</a> which begun in 1701 led most of the Tories to withdraw into opposition by 1708, so that Marlborough and Godolphin were heading an administration dominated by the Junto Whigs. Anne herself grew increasingly uncomfortable with this dependence on the Whigs, especially as her personal relationship with the <a href="/wiki/Sarah_Churchill,_Duchess_of_Marlborough" title="Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough">Duchess of Marlborough</a> deteriorated. This situation also became increasingly uncomfortable to many of the non-Junto Whigs, led by the <a href="/wiki/Charles_Seymour,_6th_Duke_of_Somerset" title="Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset">Duke of Somerset</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Charles_Talbot,_1st_Duke_of_Shrewsbury" title="Charles Talbot, 1st Duke of Shrewsbury">Duke of Shrewsbury</a>, who began to intrigue with <a href="/wiki/Robert_Harley,_1st_Earl_of_Oxford_and_Earl_Mortimer" title="Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer">Robert Harley</a>'s Tories. In early 1710, the prosecution by the Whig government of the ultra-Tory preacher <a href="/wiki/Henry_Sacheverell" title="Henry Sacheverell">Henry Sacheverell</a> for sermons delivered the previous year, led to the <a href="/wiki/Sacheverell_riots" title="Sacheverell riots">Sacheverell riots</a> and brought the ministry into popular discredit.

Following a long disagreement between the ministers, Anne dismissed Harley in 1714. The arch-Tory Bolingbroke became in effect Anne's chief minister and Tory power seemed to be at its zenith. However, Anne was extremely ill and died within a few days.
