The claim that Thomas Cromwell brought about a revolution in Tudor government was generated by the historian Elton, from Cromwell's success as a minister in his aims of sovereignty, parliament and bureaucracy under King Henry VIII. Elton's claims meet many skeptical opponents such as Starkey and Guy, who criticize that Cromwell's work up to 1540 was anything but revolutionary, it was a mere pragmatic approach to satisfy the king's wishes which led to his escalation of power and to a fortunate series of consequentialities. changes in government. The criticism seems plausible when one considers that Cromwell's reforms within the Tudor government were not permanent and his work was quickly undone after his death. Cromwell's work in government was hardly a revolutionary movement as it failed to make a deep impression on England, but it is undeniable that he brought about significant changes to England at the height of his professional career. Elton proposes that the sovereign revolution was achieved under Cromwell; this statement appears to be strong, as the evidence of the fact is that England remains sovereign from the Holy Roman Empire to the present time, which undoubtedly supports Elton. Under Cromwell, sovereign England was further strengthened as Wales was united with England and placed under the rule of its high king, Henry. The changes that Cromwell successfully administered were all permanent and therefore revolutionary, these changes were able to withstand the entire Tudor dynasty and more. The revolution was achieved by Cromwell with his skillful drafting of parliamentary bills which ensured the resolution of the great question as well as the supremacy and absolutism of the king. Henry's supremacy, sovereignty and divorce were s... at the center of the paper ......political necessities of the time, namely Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon in 1533, so that Cromwell could fulfill the demands of his king's desire; pragmatically detached the problematic Pope and his Holy Roman Empire from England to resolve the Great Question by (unwillingly) having to reform Parliament, thereby transforming England into a sovereign state. The bureaucratic reform that Elton claims was part of the revolution in Tudor government once again boils down to Cromwell's loyal servitude to the king, addressing Henry's financial problem with a series of solutions that would surely benefit the king in the long run. term. Cromwell's work was not revolutionary as it failed to survive the many changes in the monarchy (excluding working to achieve sovereignty) and occurred as quickly as a revolution would realistically occur..
