The Tudor dynasty (1485 – 1603) established a system of government

departments, staffed by professionals who depended for their position on the

monarch. As a result, the feudal barons were no longer needed for

implementing government policy. Parliament was traditionally split into two

‗Houses‘. The House of Lords consisted of the feudal aristocracy and the

leaders of the Church; the House of Commons consisted of representatives from

the towns and the less important landowners in rural areas. It was now more

important for monarchs to get the agreement of the Commons for policymaking

because that was where the newly powerful merchants and landowners

(the people with the money) were represented.
