Personal rule vs Republican rule

Similarities

Spearheaded by a figure - King and Cromwell respectively
Figures leading had distinct powers
Controversially dealt with issues in Ireland (Wentworth and Cromwell in Ireland)
Dissolved parls when didn't agree - fundamental structures didn't change, same elite in power

Differences

Uniformity of religion vs freedom of religion (Laudian practices vs Freedom Act, civil marriages)
Republican govt relied heavily on army (rump and MG)
Centralisation (King, privy council, personal rule) vs decentralisation of power (MG, abolition of monarchy and HoL and single-chamber govt)

Overall comparison

More similar than different - a return to the monarchy indicated this
