WHAT WERE SOME OF QUEEN ELIZABETH 1ST OF ENGLANDS DOMESTIc POLICIES?

Answer 1

She managed to make Anglican worship almost equivalent to English patriotism. People who regularly attended the established Church could be trusted, and people who didn't were potential traitors. England was all she really cared about, and I don't think she had any strong religious views one way or another, so Anglicanism was just a means to her main end.

Of course this was all the Pope's fault, because not only had he denounced her as a heretic and not the rightful Queen, but also promised that any English Catholics who rebelled and assassinated her would not be guilty of a mortal sin. He had no authority over the English succession anyway, and he was expecting English Catholics to show loyalty to him first and to their country second, so no wonder that Elizabeth expected treason from Catholics especially, and from non-Anglicans generally.

The next monarch, James I, took this to such extremes that some Nonconformist Puritans emigrated to North America in 1620 to escape persecution.

Answer 2

Double snap shots of the style you describe have been in simple terms no longer made in the sixteenth century, no longer by employing monarchs or different royals, however an exceedingly few double snap shots of alternative, non-royal human beings do exist. whether that they have been basic, Mary and Elizabeth weren't close. Mary could have had to come back to a style to properly worth the style of portrait, on the grounds that in basic terms she substitute right into a monarch at an identical time as the two have been alive, and she or he did no longer believe Elizabeth or desire that Elizabeth could be her inheritor, so there could have been no sturdy symbolic reason of a double portrait of Mary and Elizabeth. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, there are some "kinfolk of Henry VIII" snap shots that incorporate the two Mary and Elizabeth. See below:

Answer 3

In religious matters, she did persecute Catholics--she perceived her people as preferring the Protestant form of worship and wanted outward conformity--attendance at the parish church services once a month was sufficient (or the payment of a nominal fine for non-attendance if one's conscience would not permit even that)--and only began serious suppression of the Catholic faith when conspiracies to overthrow her rule were found to be afoot. In fact, when these became known, a number of Catholics adopted the Anglican faith themselves--others simply went "underground," if you will, continuing to practice their faith in secret. The sad part of all of this is that not every English Catholic was trying to unseat Elizabeth--more likely many of them would have been content to continue as they had been, either attending the established services when necessary or paying the fine to avoid it, but when the Pope got involved, a choice of loyalties was forced on them.

Walsingham, Elizabeth's spy master, was a very staunch Protestant and tended to see the religious question in terms of patriotism--the way some Americans tended to look at Muslims in the wake of 9/11, questioning whether one's religious opinions or practice was compatible with nationalism.

We're constantly warned to not impose our own era's ideas on historical events--while the persecutions of the 16th century are deplorable from a human rights standpoint, we must also keep in mind that religious uniformity was very iportant to the rulers of the time. A pity, really--Elizabeth's immediate predecessor on the throne, her half-sister Mary, was a woman of warm personal affections and very morally upright, but she persecuted Protestants because of her stern religious beliefs. Elizabeth found herself doing the same thing to Catholics, even though she herself once made the statement, "I desire no windows into men's souls."

Answer 4

one was definitely to crack down on the minority religious groups in her country...and promote her father (Henry VIII)'s religion.
