How is the growth of Sinn Fein, from fringe revolutionary organization to provisional government, best explained? The growth of Sinn Fein from a fringe revolutionary organization to a provision government can be put down to a multitude of factors, including tactics taken, its anti-war stance, its association with the Easter Rising and the poor policies of the British Government.

The last years of Henrys reign was dominated by conservative and reformist factions . In this essay I will assess the extent of the threat created due to the rivalry of factions that had affected the stability of the government. The execution of Cromwell (1940) was a success for conservatives as was also Henrys marriage to Catharine Haword. The marriage was a gateway to influencing Henry by carving out a new royal policy via Catharine H. This increased tension between the Reformists and conservatives and so the reformists took action to destroy the reputations of Cahrine H , Duke of Norfolk and Gardiner. On the contrary this shows that the disputes between these factions may imply that the King was weak and not in control thus significantly threatening the stability of government .

Although he had some successes, he was a very harsh ruler. So, Parliament decided to impeach Strafford based on weak accusations. For example, they said that he was heard saying to the King himself “Your Majesty, you have an army in Ireland, which you may employ here to reduce this kingdom.” However, this was supposedly said in a Privy council meeting, which surely means should be private conversation. He himself pointed out that one should be entitled to freedom of speech! Another accusation was made by a man who was nearly half deaf!
