**“President Trump Abruptly Ends NBC Interview After Exchange Over ‘Rigged Election’”** (BBC News, June 8, 2026) . . . **“The Stuart monarch, King Charles I, embraced Filmer’s doctrine of the divine right of kings. He advanced an absolute monarchy in which the ruled (serfs) were bound to the land and officials (stewards) exercised unchecked authority. He also suppressed Scottish Presbyterians and other Puritans, attempting to impose the Church of England—whose supreme governor was the English monarch—throughout the realm.**
**In an absolute monarchy where the ruled (serfs) were tied to the land and governed by officials (stewards), technological innovation (the Industrial Revolution) was an unnecessary byproduct.**
**After the Restoration, Charles II and James II, the second monarchs of their respective names, found themselves unable to handle the technological innovations (the Industrial Revolution) that were the fruits of the “hated Puritan Revolution.” Instead of supporting new innovations that would create normal goods, the English Royalists exploited the propertyless class, forcing them to supply unlimited labor at subsistence wages to mass‑produce inferior goods (cheap copy products) like the Enfield rifle, which they sought to sell overseas.**
