The Agreement of the People

The Agreement of the People was a political proposal put forward during England's 17th-century civil wars, mainly around 1647-1648. It aimed to outline a new constitutional framework that limited royal power, expanded voting rights, and promoted more democratic governance. The idea was to create a fairer government structure supported by many soldiers, commoners, and some reformers, moving away from absolute monarchy. While influential, the agreement was not officially adopted, but it helped shape future democratic ideas and discussions about rights and representation in England.
