Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What was the Clarendon Code?

    Model answer

    A series of Restoration laws (1661–65) that penalised religious Nonconformists and re-established Anglican supremacy.

  2. 2

    What was the Test Act of 1673?

    Model answer

    A law requiring holders of public office to take Anglican communion and deny transubstantiation, effectively barring Catholics and Dissenters from office.

  3. 3

    What was the Toleration Act of 1689?

    Model answer

    A law granting freedom of worship to Protestant Nonconformists who accepted certain doctrines, though they remained barred from public office.

  4. 4

    Who were the non-jurors?

    Model answer

    Archbishop Sancroft, several other bishops and some 400 clergy who refused to swear allegiance to William and Mary and were deprived of their posts.

  5. 5

    What argument suggests the Glorious Revolution was NOT very revolutionary?

    Model answer

    It was largely a conservative, aristocratic settlement that preserved monarchy, property and the Anglican establishment and excluded most people from power.

  6. 6

    What did the Toleration Act of 1689 actually grant?

    Model answer

    Freedom of worship for Trinitarian Protestant dissenters who took the oaths and registered their meeting houses. It did not repeal the Test Acts, and excluded Catholics and Unitarians.
