What is model paragraph?Show answer
Across the period the bond between church and state loosened but was never broken. In the 1530s the Act of Supremacy made conformity a test of allegiance, so that recusancy could be treason; by 1689 the Toleration Act permitted Protestant Dissenters to worship freely, a change unthinkable a century earlier. Yet the continuity is as striking: an established Anglican church endured the republic and the Revolution alike, and Catholics remained barred from office under the Test Act (1673) long after 1700.
