What key political, social, and religious ideas and institutions defined the English nation around 1600?

The political idea was that the king, while powerful and the undisputed leader of the nation, had certain limitations to his power, and had to respond to a certain extent to the English Parliament. This idea was formed by the Carta Magna, signed in the Middle Ages.

The social idea was that the social structure, while still rigid, had more mobility than in many other European states at the time. This is because trade and crafts were promoted and developed in England, which helped people that did not have a noble background, to accumulate wealth and move up the social ladder.

The religious idea was that England was a Protestant Nation, ruled by the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. England was therefore part of Protestant Europe, along with Scotland, the Nordic Countries, and some parts of Central Europe, in contrast to Catholic Europe, which dominated the rest of Western and Southern Europe.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
