- How accurate is it to say that in the years 1485 – 1603 royal patronage was mainly responsible for the creation of stable and successful government?
- LOA: no, creation and development of local roles
- P1- no
- JPs increased government control and authority in the localities
- responsible for the enforcement of laws
- initaly could act on info without a jury 1495
- poor had to have a licence to beg signed by x2 JPS
- had to take inventories of parish goods 1549
- this shows that the creation and devlopment of local roles helped to increase gov control in the localites
- hence creating a stable and effective government
- responsible for the enforcement of laws
- JPs increased government control and authority in the localities
- P2- counter argument
- however it could be argued that patronage provided stability at the centralised level which allowed increase in effectiveness in localities
- Hvii handed out patronage carefully - no dof Bedford
- H viii gave patronage to close friends appointing Charles Brandon as duke of Suffolk
- allowed for greater control over nobility
- HOWEVER...
- relied on strong monarch - without one = abused causing instability eg Edward/ Seymour fraction under a dying Hvii
- P3 development of role of JPS
- responisble for recording the poor in a parish and fixing hours
- made responisble for punishing poor
- the expansion of the role of JPS meant that they had more of a role in the exicution of gov policy
- helping to create a stable and effective gov in the localites
- did not reliy on the strength or political skill of a monarch
