(April- May 1640) was not disposed at first to be extremely self-assertive. The king asked twelve subsidies, pay- able in three years. The Commons demanded a reversal of the judgment on Hampden, and an acknow- ledgment of the illegality of ship-money, as a condi- tion of granting the money. Neither party would give way, and Parliament was dissolved.
12. The Long Parliament— But it was impossible now to revert to personal rule, and Parliament again met in November 1640. This Parliament is very f
...amous, and has always been called the Long Parliament, because it was not dissolved for more than twelve years. By a series of great measures it won back self-government for the nation, though at the tremen- dous cost, as was to turn out, of a king's life and a temporary change of the whole plan of governing.
The Long Parliament was full of good and patriotic men, who were averse to making more violent changes than were absolutely necessary, but who were resolved that the despotism of the last forty years should con- tinue no longer.
