Most European countries, before the Enlightment era and the revolutions derived from it, were ruled by absolute monarchs. The whole power of the nation was concentrated on a single person, and nobody dared to defy this status quo as it was believed that kings were directly appointed by God.

Monarchy in England was always slightly different. Although the English system in 1600 had nothing to do with current parliamentary monarchies where king are just symbolic institutions, in England in 1600 there was already a parliament where national issues were discussed and decisions were taken, so the king in England did not monopolize the whole national power like in other countries.
