Explanation:

• For the first question: After the execution of King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell led the establishment of the Commonwealth of England. An absolute monarchy would mean a king/queen with total power (which Cromwell was against as he fought the king). A constitutional monarchy (like modern - day UK) has a monarch but with limited powers defined by a constitution - which was not the case then. Democracy in the modern - sense (with wide - spread suffrage) was not what the Commonwealth was. The Commonwealth was a republican form of government (though with Cromwell having significant power, but still called a Commonwealth).
• For the second question: The Restoration refers to the return of the monarchy. After Cromwell's rule (as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth), Charles II was restored to the throne. The Church of England was already an established church before Cromwell (though there were religious changes during his rule, but restoration of the monarchy is the main reason for the name). Parliament's power was not lost in the sense that it was “restored” in the Restoration (it had power before the Civil War, lost some during Cromwell's rule but the main event was the return of the king). Trade relationships were not the main focus of the term “Restoration”.
• For the third question: The Glorious Revolution (1688 - 1689) involved the overthrow of James II and the accession of William III and Mary II. It was called “Glorious” because it was a relatively peaceful transition of power (compared to the Civil War). It did not result in a bloody civil war (the Civil War was earlier). It was not the first revolution (e.g., the English Civil War and the establishment of the Commonwealth was an earlier revolutionary event in England). It led to a constitutional monarchy, not a dictatorship.

Answer:

1. Commonwealth
2. Restoration of the monarchy after Cromwell's rule
