1 Jan 1660 Jahr - the Country Party

Beschreibung:

The Country Party, also known as the Whigs, was composed of those who opposed the King and his court and tended to be more liberal and supportive of parliamentary power. They were often critical of the royal prerogative and sought to limit the powers of the monarchy in favour of the power of Parliament.

The division between the Court and Country parties was a significant factor in the politics of the time, as it influenced the debates and decisions made in Parliament. The Court party tended to support the King's policies and initiatives, while the Country party often resisted them and sought to assert the power of Parliament.

Throughout the reign of Charles II, the balance of power between the Court and Country parties shifted back and forth, with each faction gaining and losing ground depending on the political climate of the time. However, the division between the two factions remained a defining characteristic of English politics during this period.
