King James I of England and the supporters of the Restoration of the Monarch after Charles I was beheaded would provide some information on those opposed to uprisings against the king. James said he would harry the Puritans out of the land, but a few decades later, the English supporters of Cromwell had gained the upper hand, and Great Britain almost had a constitution.
James I created a new Bible, because he didn’t like the notes about the king in the Geneva Bible that was used by the Puritans. The Pilgrims who came here in 1620 carried the Geneva Bible.
The Puritans believed in good government and the ability to ‘revolt.’ You might need to clarify the difference between a true ‘Revolution’ and a ‘Reaction.’ Some people think the American Revolution was more of the latter.

Lex Rex would have been well known among the Puritans. This paved the way for John Locke.
