Charles II was overthrown and a republic proclaimed known as the Commonwealth from 1649-1660 during the English civil war and second English civil war. This government is known as the Protectorate under Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell and his son Richard Cromwell.

The collapse of the Protectorate under the inept Richard Cromwell and the return of the Crown strengthened the Parliament and crown system. The parliament and Crown ruled together.

This is a different system compared to the American colonies that basically from their inception were self governing legislatures and different from the French Crown that governed as an absolute monarchy. France had a parliament-like body of nobles in the Estate system but it wasn't called in centuries. The Nobility forcing Louis XVI to ask them to raise taxes broke the King's illusion of power.
