Short-term Congress
The short term refers to the parliament of Charles I of England. After the dissolution of Parliament in 1629, Charles I did 11 years without parliament. However, the British attempted to enforce the British system of religion in Scotland, causing a clash with the Scottish elders, which eventually led to the rebellion of the elders. Charles I convened a parliament in April 1640 with the intent of procuring funds to repatriate the rebellion. However, the council dismissed the request of the king to do so, dismissing the king's complaint, and claimed the demand for the king, so the king dissolved the parliament again in three weeks. Thereafter, the parliament was convened again by the needs of Charles I, which is called a long-term parliament. Strange things happened after the long term assembly.
