After Charles I's execution, John Lambert drafted the "Instruments of Government," establishing Oliver Cromwellas Lord Protector. Despite widespread horror in Europe, Cromwell's rule brought stability to England, though it involved moving away from radical democrats and imposing Puritan values, making it unpopular. He refused the crown in 1657, believing God had spoken against monarchy.
