During the English civil wars, parliament passed legislation in the form of ordinances - statute laws not requiring the king's assent. In late December 1648 a rump house of commons drafted an Ordinance for the trial of Charles I. Its rejection by the house of lords prompted the Commons to assume the power to legislate alone. The abortive Ordinance and the more famous Act for the trial of the king differ in ways which lend minor additional insights into the struggles at Westminster which complicated the task of bringing Charles I to justice
