- Why the Exclusion Failed
- Tories - FASAP
- Propaganda; L'Estrange's publishing and Robert Filmer's 'Partriarcha' emphasised the divine right idea
- Allies- Lords (defeated 2nd Exclusion Bill 63 to 60 in 1680) also popular support (Zook)
- Finance- support from Louis XIV (£40,000 and £115,000) allowed Charles to resist promise of £600,000
- Arrests- persecution of Whigs- removing radicals from public office (Harris)
- Scotland- Succession Act of 1681 solidified James in Scotland and brought fear of civil war
- Whigs- RES
- Radicalism- the Whig cause was seen as too radical (Zook) as espousing Monarchy e.g. '1641 all over again' (Scott)
- Elite- Whigs were not regular people and had trouble explaining their cause; commons 'supreme'
- Support- (Harris and Knights) support wavered towards Tories. They had no threat of revolt
- Tories - FASAP
